We understand that cruising is not just a means of transportation; it’s a lifestyle of indulgence and exploration.

Cruise travel is about more than the vessel – it’s about the destinations. Witness stunning landscapes, from the pristine beaches of the Caribbean to the majestic fjords of Norway. Immerse yourself in fascinating cultures as you explore historic cities, vibrant markets, and remote wilderness.

Mediterranean Marvels

A Mediterranean cruise is a voyage through history and hedonism, taking in the azure waters, ancient ruins, and vibrant cities of countries like Italy, Greece, and Croatia. Opt for lines like Silversea or Regent Seven Seas for their smaller, more intimate ships that dock at ports less accessible to larger vessels. Must-visit stops include the Amalfi Coast in Italy, the island of Santorini in Greece, and the medieval walls of Dubrovnik in Croatia.

Caribbean Elegance

The Caribbean, with its myriad islands, offers a paradise for every type of traveller. Luxury lines such as Seabourn and Crystal Cruises offer itineraries that include hidden gems like the Grenadines and the quaint French town of Gustavia on St. Barthélemy. Beyond the pristine beaches, explore the lush rainforests and vibrant local markets.

Alaskan Wilderness

An Alaskan cruise with Oceania Cruises or Viking Ocean Cruises combines luxury with adventure. Witness breathtaking glaciers, embark on wildlife spotting excursions, and delve into the rich indigenous cultures. Key ports of call include Juneau, Skagway, and Ketchikan, where you can experience dog sledding or helicopter tours over the stunning landscapes.

Insider Guides and Tips

- Mediterranean

Travel between April and June or September to October to avoid the peak summer crowds and enjoy milder weather. Insider tip: In Italy, seek out local agriturismos near your port for an authentic farm-to-table lunch amidst the countryside.

- Caribbean

While the Caribbean is a year-round destination, cruising during the shoulder seasons (May and November) can offer better deals and fewer tourists. Insider tip: In St. Barthélemy, visit the hidden Colombier Beach, accessible only by a hike or boat, for a secluded paradise.

- Alaska

The best time to cruise Alaska is from May to September, when the days are longer and wildlife is most active. Insider tip: In Ketchikan, take the opportunity to visit a local's home for a traditional salmon bake, an experience rarely found through cruise line excursions.

Gastronomic Journeys

Shore Excursions

Dining on a luxury cruise is an experience in itself, with menus crafted by world-renowned chefs. Many ships offer a range of dining options, from casual al fresco lunches to multi-course gourmet dinners. Don't miss the chance to participate in cooking classes or wine tastings led by expert sommeliers.

The true allure of a luxury cruise lies in its curated shore excursions, offering exclusive access to sites and experiences not available to the general public. This might include private tours of archaeological sites before they open to the public, snorkelling in private coves with a marine biologist, or a night at a local festival arranged just for cruise guests.

Luxury Onboard Experiences

Luxury cruises are defined by their attention to detail, from personalised butler service to suites with private balconies offering panoramic views. Indulge in spa treatments that incorporate elements from the surrounding sea and land, attend lectures by experts on the region's history and ecology, and enjoy evening entertainment that ranges from jazz ensembles to classical quartets.
