SMALL SHIP

A journey by water is something special

A journey by water is something special.

If you like the idea of unpacking once, having everything taken care of, dining on fabulous food or just enjoying the world go by from your suite, then it’s time to embrace this exceptional way of travelling.

Travelling by small ship means you can access secluded ports usually inaccessible by larger cruise vessels, drop anchor in places off the beaten track or remote islands, embark and disembark with ease and experience a more personalised service where high staff to guest ratios are important factors.

We select only the best partners to work with where reputation is a priority. Your journey is important to us and we want to make sure we get it right for you.

AFRICA

Whether it be a cruise from Cape Town or something more exotic like the Seychelles or Mauritius, a journey along the African coast is a discovery from a different perspective. Journeys are available along the East or West Coast and visit exotic ports like Zanzibar, known as the ‘Spice Island’ for its spice trade history, Mossel Bay known for its marine life, or Walvis Bay rich in Namibian culture and traditions. Further north Egypt, the land of the Pharos has long been a travellers draw card, with a rich cultural history to the awe-inspiring Pyramids. A variety of shore excursion means you see and do without missing out on the most important places these destinations have to offer.

We offer a selection of cruises that cater to the adventurer at heart. Why not extend your journey with a land safari to some of the best game reserves on offers or a relaxing beach stay at one of the many islands dotting the shores of this magnificent continent.

ASIA

Exotic destinations, intriguing cultures, super modern cities combined with thousands of years of history are the perfect combination for a journey to the waters of Asia.

Explore the unexplored, in the Indonesian archipelago, or the sub-tropical islands off Japan. Further afield the turquoise water of the Maldivian archipelago is abundant with marine life. Traditional villages alongside modern metropolises can be found throughout the vast continent of Asia. There are opportunities to delve into culinary delights, gain insight into everyday local life, or simply just take it slow on a relaxed sojourn.

Do as much or as little as you like.

EUROPE

Take it slow or be as adventurous as you like, spend time discovering, learning or just relaxing with a good book in hand. Discovering new or familiar destinations from the glamorous coastlines of the Mediterranean, the rugged landscapes of the British Isles or the waterways of the Baltic Sea, the ports of call are endless and each one represents a new adventure. Smaller vessels can access the best posts available, reduced passenger numbers means embarkation and disembarkation are handled with ease and more time is spent in each destination.

Our boutique selection of vessels ensures your journey is seamless, comfortable and maybe just a little indulgent. We work collaboratively with you, selecting the right vessel and suite to ensure your trip gets off to the right start.

THE AMERICAS

Whether it’s the majestic and spectacular coastlines of the East Coast or the rugged natural beauty of the West coast a certain feeling of adventure comes to mind. Nature, wildlife, perhaps a glimpse of the Northern lights might be just what you are looking for. Venture into Alaska’s untouched frontiers, or visit the fishing villages dotting the coastline and gain a deeper understanding of the indigenous communities. Further south the waters of the Baja Peninsula is home to several species of marine wildlife and during the winter migration, grey whales can be seen in the sheltered waters of Magdalena Bay.

For something a little more exotic the sun-soaked waters of the Caribbean Islands are ideal for those who enjoy a dip in the ocean, or if iconic cities appeal there are plenty to see and lots to do. For the adventurous, the natural wonders of Patagonia, the Chilean Fjords or the abundant wildlife of the Galapagos Islands are best seen by smaller cruise vessels.
