Small Ship Expedition Cruising
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 – a remote island to explore or a sprawling reef to discover. In the evening, kick back on board with your favourite drink and a long, decadent meal.
