Cruise Collection 2019 Brochure

The Small-Ship Experience

CHOOSE YOUR CRUISE STYLE! Our Cruise Collection includes many types of cruises and levels of service. Unique Expeditions are often one-time-only trips, designed to bring you to the world’s most far-flung destinations, with exciting shore excursions and fantastic naturalists chosen for their gifts for sharing their expertise. Luxury Cruises offer a five-star experience with spacious cabin suites, butler service, fine cuisine prepared by professional chefs, and beautiful lounging areas. Alcoholic beverages and gratuities are included. Casual Cruises offer a casual style; all excursions are elective (not included in the trip price), for a more economical option. You can participate in as many as you wish! Polar Cruises explore the rugged wilds of the polar regions in comfortable ice-strengthened expedition ships with a crew of trained naturalists. River Cruises offer wonderful voyages on some of Europe’s storied rivers, as well as Asia’s Mekong River. Journeys by Rail are aboard a luxury train, but the concept is the same. Unpack just once and experience a fantastic adventure aboard the renowned Golden Eagle trains.

When it comes to exploring by boat, smaller truly is better. Smaller boats can get into ports and places that larger ships can’t, allowing you to savor uncrowded anchorages in remote locations. You’ll enjoy wonderful interactions with fellow passengers, ship officers, staff, and the guides and

lecturers who may accompany you on shore excursions and offer fascinating presentations. Throughout the journey you spend less time queuing up on deck, as guests on large ships must do, and more time off the boat, enjoying the places you came so far to see! ACTIVE, ENLIGHTENING, AND FUN! Each cruise program varies, but most offer wonderfully active days. Zodiacs zip you to

shore for exciting visits to nearby villages and markets, and you’ll enjoy guided walks on history-filled streets, one-on-one encounters with the locals, or excursions to wildlife-rich areas of natural beauty. Optional sea kayaking and snorkeling opportunities are offered on some voyages for memorable encounters with the wonders of underwater realms.
