Small ship expedition cruising is all about venturing further, seeing more, and doing more, but also enjoying great food, wine and a little pampering along the way. You’ll stay close to the coastline, which means there will be no long days spent at sea and more time spent exploring. Rise each morning to a new adventure – spectacular scenery and rugged coastlines. In the evening, relax on board with your favourite drink and a long, decadent meal.
