Travelling by water lends your holiday a unique and enriching rhythm and this is certainly true when you embark on a long adventurous journey as you explore far reaches of the world. Epic sailing invites you to slow down and immerse yourself in the journey as well as each destination, whilst making new friends and enjoying all your ship has to offer.

River Cruises
Hugely popular for multi-centre trips, sightseeing and short breaks, river cruises offer a gentle way to explore beautiful places. Ranging from luxury

4* Luxury Yacht Cruises
With a maximum of 40 guests onboard and a ratio of 4 guests to 1 crew, you will receive first-class personal service on a luxury yacht cruise. And thanks to their small size, yacht cruises can moor on smaller islands, visit hidden beaches and avoid the larger ship crowds.
All yachts are moored overnight, so you can also enjoy local cuisine at onshore restaurants followed by an evening stroll.
These yacht cruises are perfect for those seeking a relaxing, island-hopping adventure. There’s even a platform from which to jump or climb into the sea any time you stop for a swim!
Mix and match your yacht cruise with a land based guided tour and hotel to create the perfect tailor-made itinerary. From the Greek Islands, Dalmatian Coast, to Norway and the Arctic Circle, yacht cruising will bring you a very intimate and personal holiday experience.
