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.
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.
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.
