Star Clippers are making a welcome return to the delightful Greek islands of Skopelos and Skiathos on their ‘Mamma Mia’ sailing cruise in 2019, and are also visiting the remarkable island of Borneo for the first time. Take a look at our exclusive package featuring a 10-night tall ship sailing cruise from Singapore to Borneo with a 3-night post-cruise stay on the island with time to see the elusive Orangutan. Variety Cruises are spending a summer in Bali and the idyllic Indonesian archipelago in 2019, their small ships and relaxed itineraries perfect for making the most of your time in this exotic corner of the world. The Far East is a great cruise destination, with so many different vistas and cultures to discover. Our two cruises in Vietnam offer contrasting views of the country, with the APT Mekong river cruise winding through the heart of the country, and the all-inclusive cruise from Regent Seven Seas visiting the coastal highlights in true luxury.

Also new is a small-ship cruise from the French-Canadian cities of Montreal and Québec along the St Lawrence River to the Great Lakes and Niagara Falls, a unique way of seeing this spectacular region in comfort and style. Alternatively explore the treasures of Egypt from the haven of a modern Nile river cruise ship, or take an expedition voyage to the highlights of Latin America, including the rainforests of Costa Rica and ancient cultures of Peru.

Closer to home, we have selected our favourite European river cruises to showcase just some of what we can offer. As the UK’s leading expert in river cruising, we specialise in finding the ideal river and cruise line to suit you. From the magnificent capital cities of the Danube to the fairy tale castles along the Rhine, gastronomy of the Rhône and Seine, or the terraced slopes of the winding Douro, we have a river cruise for

everyone. We can advise on which cruise lines include what you need to make it an unforgettable holiday.

If your imagination is fired by dramatic icy landscapes, we have all the cruise ideas you could ask for. Take a luxury expedition cruise to the white continent of Antarctica, cruise the coast of Norway in search of the Northern Lights or visit Alaska on one of the finest ocean ships around. For real adventure, our Three Arctic Islands cruise visits the starkly beautiful islands of Greenland, Spitsbergen and Iceland.

We also have a fantastic selection of no-fly cruises direct from a wide choice of regional ports for those of you who prefer not to fly to the start of their cruise. We’ve chosen just a few of the most popular ports and destinations to give you a flavour of what is available. Don’t forget that many of our river cruises can be packaged with rail instead of flights too – just tell us what you would like and we will do the hard work for you!

As the award-winning experts in small ship, river and luxury cruising, we have a dedicated team of cruise specialists to help you plan your ideal holiday – just call us on 01756 706506. With first-hand experience of many ships and destinations, we can make booking your perfect cruise plain sailing all the way.

Ecuador’s pristine Galápagos Islands are home to wildlife found nowhere else on earth. The extreme isolation of the islands led to the development of unusual species including the giant tortoise, iguanas, blue-footed boobies and finches, which inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Embark your ship on Baltra Island and cruise to the islands of Daphne and Espanola, home to sea turtles, sea lions, pelicans and the waved albatross. See the famous post office barrel on Floreana Island where whalers left their mail to be picked up by outbound ships. There may be the chance to spot huge iguanas and Galápagos Penguins, and there is the opportunity to visit a giant tortoise reserve.
