Motor Yachts
Motor yachts are contemporary, intimate vessels built for relaxed coastal cruising. With a small number of guests on board, these ships offer a personal, yacht-like atmosphere with easy access to small ports, hidden coves, and scenic anchorages that larger vessels simply cannot reach.

Style 3 of 7
Sailing Yachts
Sailing yachts and motor sailers blend the romance of traditional maritime travel with modern comfort. These character-filled vessels harness the wind where possible, offering a slower, more scenic pace of travel — perfect for travellers who love the idea of sailing into port under canvas.
Style 4 of 7
Catamarans
Catamarans feature a twin-hull design that delivers exceptional stability and generous deck space. Their shallow draft allows access to smaller bays, islands, and anchorages that monohull vessels cannot reach — making them ideal for island-hopping and snorkelling-focused itineraries.

Traditional Coastal Ships
Traditional coastal ships are the backbone of Mediterranean small-ship cruising. These relaxed, character-filled vessels are built for island hopping, swimming stops, and informal coastal cruising. With comfortable en-suite cabins and welcoming crews, they offer an authentic, sociable way to explore the Dalmatian coast, the Greek Islands, and beyond.

Expedition Ships
Expedition ships are purpose-built vessels designed for remote destinations and active exploration. Reinforced hulls, expert naturalist guides, Zodiac landing craft, and flexible itineraries that adapt to wildlife and ice conditions make these ships the gateway to Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos, and other wild places where few vessels can go.

River Ships
River ships are purpose-built vessels designed for the world's great inland waterways. Their compact size allows direct access to historic town centres, cities, and landscapes along the Danube, Rhine, Rhône, Saône, Mekong, and Nile — docking in the heart of each destination and offering a seamless, scenic way to travel through Europe and beyond.
