Sailing Tours and Holidays
See the world by boat
With 70 per cent of the planet's surface covered in water, our cruises take you to amazing places that are best seen from or only properly accessible by boat. Our collection of seafaring holidays include cruises in the wildlife-rich Galapagos Islands, sailing off Croatia’s stunning coastline and island hopping in Greece. We also include a day or two on water on some of our regular tours, from river cruising the Yangtze and the Nile to junk boat sailing in Halong Bay and relaxing on a rice boat in Kerala.
For those feeling adventurous, why not embark on an expedition cruise to Greenland, or the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. We also offer Antarctic cruises which take in South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, for a true off the beaten track adventure.

Top sailing and cruising experiences
Sailing Holidays
Set sail off the coast of Croatia or Turkey on our week-long sailing holidays discovering the islands of the Adriatic or the Mediterranean coastline. At each stop there's the chance to independently explore fishing ports, medieval fortresses and secluded beaches with plenty of time to lounge out on deck or swim.
River Cruises
One of the most relaxing ways to explore the sites of ancient Egypt is on board a 5-star Nile Cruiser stopping to visit the ruins of Luxor and Aswan. In Thailand you can tackle the historic River Kwai, cruise the mighty Yangtze in China, or opt for a luxury cruise in Peru to discover the Amazon Rainforest.
Houseboats & more
For something unique and unforgettable, on some of our tours we spend a night or two on traditional local boats from rice boats on the backwaters of Kerala in India to feluccas on the River Nile in Egypt and junk boats for a scenic cruise around Halong Bay in Vietnam with plenty of activities to keep you occupied.
Antarctica Expeditions
Follow in the footsteps of famed explorers Roald Amundsen and with an expedition cruise to Antarctica. Setting sail from the city of Ushuaia in Argentina, explore the islands and Antarctica peninsula with adventures on land spotting penguins and sea lions, as well as whales in the icy cold waters.
