Which kind of cruise suits you?
River cruise
For easy, elegant journeys through Europe’s great cities and riverside towns, with smaller ships, central docking and a gentler pace.
Ocean cruise
For classic cruising with beautiful sea days, plenty of dining and entertainment, and itineraries that cover a lot of ground.
Small ship / expedition
For extraordinary journeys to places few travellers ever reach — Antarctica, the Arctic, remote islands and wild coastlines.
The ease of the journey
Why people love cruising
Cruising makes multi-stop travel feel easy. You unpack once, settle in, and wake up somewhere new while the logistics happen in the background.
Unpack once / Wake up somewhere new
Settle into your cabin once, then wake up to a new view while the travelling happens overnight.
See more with less effort / Comfort and variety
Discover several places without constant transfers, while keeping one comfortable base.
The journey is part of the experience
Good food, sea views and genuine time to unwind make every day feel like part of the holiday.

Life at sea
What life onboard is actually like
Cabins and balconies
Your own comfortable base, with the position and view that suit you. From cosy interiors to private balconies, the right cabin makes a real difference.
Dining
From relaxed breakfasts to special dinners, there is usually plenty of choice. The style ranges from casual poolside meals to beautifully paced evenings.
Excursions
Join a knowledgeable guide or explore independently at your own pace. I’ll help you understand which experiences are worth booking before you sail.
Pools, spa and wellness
Swim, unwind or book a treatment between ports. These spaces are particularly lovely on sea days, when there is time to enjoy them properly.
Entertainment and evenings
Choose from live music, shows and fascinating talks, or find a quiet bar for a nightcap. Evenings can be as lively or relaxed as you like.
Sea days and downtime
Slow mornings, a good book and time to enjoy the ship itself. With nowhere to rush to, the day can unfold entirely at your pace.
Choosing your cabin
Does deck level matter?
A little. The best choice depends on the ship, your cabin type and how sensitive you are to movement.
- Lower decks
- Usually a little steadier and often better value. A good choice if you’re budget-conscious or more sensitive to movement.
- Mid decks
- Often the easiest all-round choice, with convenient access to much of the ship.
- Higher decks
- Usually chosen for better views and closer access to pools and outdoor spaces, though they can feel a little more movement on some ships.
Choosing your style
River or ocean? Two very different ways to cruise
River cruise
Smaller ships, central docking and easy sightseeing. Best for travellers who want historic cities, culture and a gentler pace.
- Central docking
- Fewer guests
- More destination-focused
Ocean cruise
More choice on board, longer itineraries and the ability to cover much greater distances.
- More dining and entertainment
- More cabin choice
- Sea days and longer routes
Small ship & expedition
Smaller ships, fewer guests and extraordinary journeys to remote coastlines, islands and wildlife-rich places.
- Access to smaller ports
- Fewer guests
- Expedition-led itineraries
A useful guide
What is considered a small ship?
There’s no single definition, but roughly:
50–300 guests
Boutique small ships
100–500 guests
Expedition ships
500–1,000 guests
Small ocean ships
3,000–6,000+ guests
Large mainstream ships
Why choose one? Smaller ships can access ports larger ships can’t, usually feel less crowded and tend to focus more on the destination than onboard facilities.
Looking for something different?
These are just a few examples. I can match the route, ship, cabin and style to the kind of cruise you actually want.
