Some luxury ships offer worldwide cruise programs, rather than specific area itineraries and are listed here by ship name under "World Cruises".

Many of our cruises are aboard sailing ships as sailing is romantic, exciting, and adventurous.

Ducking under booms, leaning against the railing a few feet above the sea, watching the crew work the winches and climb the masts are constant reminders that these are legendary vessels.

  Information

Traditional Cruises to most world locations can be viewed and booked directly on line through this link Cruising does not have to be confined to the Caribbean islands. There is a whole world of incredible cruise discoveries available to those seeking the untraditional. 

Instead of the  "regular" cruises, here you will find unique adventures combined with romance and spirit aboard "un-traditional" ships along with the relaxation and sophistication of cruising aboard well appointed, modern-day ships and yachts. Most of the ships we propose are small and may carry from 16 to 110 guests. The small size means that the ship can negotiate the narrowest waterways bringing you closer to the locale of your visit. In port or ashore, activities are in small groups, so that you do not crowd the trails, keep nature pristine and are welcomed by the local communities.

Exploration cruises normally have an on-board Leader/Guide to share with you their true insider's knowledge of each area. In some cases you will rediscover what sailing was like during the glorious age of the ships, from the best places to spot wildlife to details on the ecology, flora and fauna. All cruises will let you discover, in complete comfort, the most natural environment of each destination. In some cases you will rediscover what sailing was like during the glorious age of the ships. In all you will cruise waters where not many vessels sail and where open spirits soars, receiving that personal attention that gets lost on a crowded ship. 

You can cruise the Galapagos, discovering the pristine and endemic fauna not to be found anywhere else in the world, leisurely float along the mighty Amazon, surrounded by the largest virgin forest on earth, or explore the wonderful lush forests of Costa Rica & Panama dropping anchor at pristine offshore islands without docks (or people). 

Cruise the Sea of Cortez to sleepy, sun-splashed villages and experience up-close encounters with the gentle gray whales of Baja, boat from San Francisco to explore the best of the Napa, Sonoma and Carneros wine districts, or cruise 800 miles of historic waterways in the wake of explorers Lewis and Clark on the Columbia and Snake Rivers and British Columbia from cosmopolitan Vancouver to the wildest of cliff-lined fjords on the Orcas islands.

Adventure on an incredible circumnavigation of the Arctic, an unbelievable discover of Antarctica, the while Continent, or the excitement of an Alaska cruise. Experience the local colors of Asia and Europe cruising along the Yangtze river, Mekong, Kwai and Irrawaddy rivers, or join the fun of a "goulette" cruise along the coast of Turkey and a regular cruise of the Aegean and Mediterranean waters. Or you  may elect to float along the Nile discovering the vestiges of 3000 years of Egyptian civilization or lazily while away your time on a dream barge or river cruise that will allow you to discover more of the surrounding countryside.

It is all possible, come and discover!
