The Craft of Cruising
Simply the best way to see the world!
How about a cruise on the Mekong through Vietnam and Cambodia which offers the traveler the opportunity to explore traditional floating markets and rural pagodas, quiet country villages, royal palaces including the world’s largest religious monument Angkor Wat, Cambodia. One thing is for sure there is much to see in two countries which are full of history?
Or how would you like to discover the real Russia and toast to the Tsars as you cruise along the historic Volga (and Svir) rivers from Moscow to St Petersburg, exploring the cities important landmark, revealing the real Russia as you acquaint yourself with its rich history and culture?

Patagonia & Antarctica

Patagonia & Antarctica is possibly best discovered by cruising leisurely and comfortably as you take in the rugged landscape of Patagonia and the southernmost region of the world. Antarctica is the last discovered continent where wildlife and nature exist without excessive pressures of man. The dramatic mountains, glaciers, icebergs and ocean provide a backdrop to the lives of the wildlife who have adapted to living on this magical continent. Sailing through channels and reaching islands untouched by man, you will find yourself mesmerised by the magnificent granite peaks and glacial valleys, witness up close and personal wildlife encounters and visit quaint fishing villages as your ship cruises silently through the Patagonian channels.
Adriatic

Cruising is not all about the ocean – some of the world’s most beautiful cities in the world are built on the banks of the world’s greatest rivers. Each river cruise is designed to suite a specific type of traveler, different destinations and different experiences.
Danube and Christmas markets in Europe
One of the best experiences to embrace the festive season is to celebrate on a river cruise along the Danube River. Cruise through the charming region where so many Christmas traditions originated and where some of the most famous Christmas markets are situated.
Cruising the Danube with its enchanting castles and medieval fortresses is a journey of Old World Charm.
The Carribean
Hover to view >>
Comprising many diverse islands and cultures, this tropical paradise provides the perfect sun-soaked getaway almost all year round. For many, the draw of cruises to The Caribbean are its powder-white beaches, bright blue lagoons, gently swaying palms and relaxed, friendly atmosphere. These aspects make it a fabulous place to holiday, but cruising offers so much more by giving you the chance to leisurely sail to numerous islands and immerse yourself in the different foods, cultures and experiences the many islands offer. Bustling market towns, colourful fishing villages, lush greenery, and fresh, local cuisine are just some of the delights on offer if you do decide to venture forth from your laidback lounge under the fronds of that palm tree.
The
Bahamas

Africa & Atlantic Trans

A Transatlantic cruise conjures up images of classic cruising - packing up steamer trunks for a long voyage to the new world - reading a good book on a deck chair on the Promenade Deck, glancing up at times to see the endless horizon of the days at sea.
Some North Atlantic sailings offer cruising to Newfoundland, Greenland and Iceland.
However, there are also Southern Atlantic cruises that depart Florida, sail along the Caribbean, often with stops in San Juan, St Thomas or St Maarten, and then head over to Europe.
