Cruise and SAILING ADVENTURES
Is there a better feeling than sailing with the sun on your face, watching stars over the Aegean Sea with a glass of champagne, or snorkelling in crystal clear waters?
Sailing holidays don’t have to be an intimidating tangle of ropes, nautical jargon and sea monsters. Our sailing adventures are perfect for all ages and require no prior experience. We offer trips to suit every preference.
Explore the Greek Islands, the Turquoise Coast, the Adriatic, the Caribbean, and more with a small group and a knowledgeable skipper who knows every secluded cove and pristine beach.
Cruising has changed so much over the last few decades. It is almost unrecognisable from the days of ballroom dancing, formal dining and afternoon tea. There are endless activities aimed at the active and the adventurous... If you're looking for a holiday afloat, we have a wide range of Ocean and River cruises as well as Expedition Cruises from all the major operators, so you're sure to find an itinerary that's right up your street

What is Expedition Cruising?
Expedition cruises are about exploring remote destinations in a sustainable way. Ships are smaller (< 500 passengers) and offer modern luxuries. They can reach places without port facilities, using Zodiacs™ for shore activities led by expert guides. Imagine walking among penguins in Antarctica, visiting tribes in Papua New Guinea, or traversing Australia's rugged cliffs.
What is Ocean Cruising?
Ocean cruises visit diverse destinations like the Caribbean, Alaska, the Mediterranean, and the South Pacific. Larger ships offer extensive amenities, including pools, casinos, and multiple dining options, making them ideal for families and groups seeking a relaxing and luxurious experience.
What is River Cruising?
River cruises navigate rivers like the Rhine in Europe or the Nile in Africa. Smaller ships provide an intimate, relaxed experience, perfect for couples and retirees looking to explore beautiful rivers and landscapes.
