Ocean Cruises
Venture east to the majestic cities of the Baltic or seek out the magnificent treasures of the Black Sea and beyond.
Rediscover maritime tradition aboard a romantic tall ship or gaze in wonder at the staggeringly beautiful Norwegian Fjords.
For amazing wildlife and world-acclaimed vineyards, take an awe-inspiring journey to South Africa where the Indian and Atlantic Ocean meet.
After a spectacular tour of the Canadian Rockies discover more natural wonders on a thrilling Alaskan voyage.
For nostalgia and unapologetic luxury, nothing can match an unforgettable transatlantic cruise aboard the iconic and timeless Queen Mary 2.
Yacht Cruises
Glide through the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic on board an exclusively chartered yacht. A typical day on board a luxurious yacht cruise might involve lounging on the sun deck listening to the calming waves with your morning coffee as you arrive at a charming coastal town. Then perhaps a dip in the crystal-clear water or visit to a local landmark before sampling some traditional cuisine and a glass of chilled wine at a nearby restaurant.
Our yachts, carrying up to just 40 passengers, cruise from Venice, Dubrovnik and Split and a full programme of fascinating shore excursions is included.
We also visit picturesque ports and islands which are less accessible to larger vessels allowing you to experience a quieter but equally beautiful side of the Dalmatian Coast.
Expedition Cruises
Journeys to the Arctic and Antarctica are the epitome of expedition cruises and offer you a truly memorable experience in remote and incredible corners of the world.
Gaze in awe at majestic fjords and glaciers of the Arctic and experience the jaw dropping sight of glaciers and giant iceberg-filled bays amongst the mountainous terrain of the Antarctic Peninsula.
The abundant wilderness offer the opportunity to spot rare birds like the Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross, soaring and sweaping low until their wing feathers almost touch the tip of the waves, and humpack whales with their huge black tailfins peaking out as they dive down into the water.
Coastal & Island Cruises
Our exclusively chartered wooden schooners, carrying a maximum of 16 guests, will take you to the pretty harbours of Kefalonia and the enchanting coves and bays of Lefkas. Our schooner cruises also visit lesser known islands where time seems, quite literally, to have stood still. Idyllic harbours, atmospheric tavernas and hidden white beaches lapped by an azure blue sea - this is the Greece that we all dream of.
Or, for a truly unique and unforgettable holiday, perhaps consider a relaxing cruise around the glorious atolls and coral reefs of the Maldives. Our Maldives cruise offers a host of memorable experiences, from beach BBQs to an Indian Ocean sunset cruise to snorkelling to fishing by starlight.
