Luxury cruising is the best way to see multiple destinations with your suite acting as your home base for each new location.
The story of human history is told where water meets the land. Most major cities and cultural centers were built on the shore so it makes sense to explore these destinations from their heart – the water.
Small ship ocean and river cruises offer five-star amenities without isolating visitors from the destination. More often than not, on-shore excursions include exclusive opportunities not available to the average traveler.
Imagine private lunches at a presidential palace or a tour through an ancient vineyard complete with tastings and a complimentary bottle. River tours are never about seeing a destination, but rather having the fullness of the experience.
There are hundreds of small ship ocean and river cruises to choose from but we make finding the right one simple. Based on your interests and your needs we can find the perfect cruise for you and curate a personalized itinerary for transportation, private tours, and much more.
Greece
Imagine pristine white and blue buildings built into the dramatic hills that seek to climb out of the waves. Visitors of the Greek islands are often just as excited about the warm hospitality of the people as they are about the stunning beauty and ancient history unlocked at each port of call.
- Tour the Acropolis, Parthenon, and the Temple of Athena in Athens
- Walk through the archeological site of a town perfectly preserved by volcanic ash on Santorini
- Eat a traditional alfresco lunch at an ouzerie in a Spartan port town
- Browse local goods like thyme, leatherwork, and jewelry in the open-air markets of Vallianos Square in Argostoli

Prague and Paris are two of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The land between the two is full of centuries-old vineyards and palaces that have been standing since the middle ages. The cities along the Elba and the Rhine are full of both picturesque medieval buildings and modern amenities.
- Take a moonlit cruise down the Seine
- Visit the famous university city of Heidelburg, alma mater of Hannah Arendt, Johann Eck, and the fictional Dr. Frankenstein
