Wake each day somewhere new

Cruises

Speak to a travel expertSee every trip
Reserve for A$200

It comes off your final price, and is refunded in full if you don't go ahead.

Unpack once and see more

A cruise moves your room with you, so each day starts in a new place without packing.

  • One cabin, many places

    Settle in on the first night and wake to a new town, river bend or island each morning.

  • The right size of vessel

    Choose a barge for a handful of guests, a river ship or a small expedition ship for remote waters.

  • Time ashore with guides

    Guided visits take you into villages, vineyards, temples and wild places from each mooring.

  • Easy to pair with land

    Add a city stay or a private tour before or after the cruise to round out the journey.

See every trip that fits this style

  • Canal barge cruisesCanal barge cruises in Burgundy, Champagne, the Canal du Midi and Scotland: small barges, fine food and guided visits to vineyards and villages.
  • Expedition cruisesExpedition cruises to Antarctica, South Georgia, the Galápagos and the Mediterranean, on small ships with expert guides and shore landings.
  • River and ocean cruisesRiver and ocean cruises on the Nile, the Amazon, the Rhine and the Dalmatian coast, with guided excursions and land stays arranged.

Choose your kind of cruise

Each cruise moves at its own pace, from slow canals to polar seas.

  • River and ocean cruises

    Follow the Nile, the Amazon or the Dalmatian coast, with guided visits ashore and a comfortable cabin to return to. Choose your river or coast and we book the ship and flights.

  • Canal barge cruises

    Spend a week on a small barge with a chef in the galley and a village at every lock. Choose your canal and we book your cabin and the nights either side.

  • Expedition cruises

    Sail to Antarctica and the Galápagos on small ships, landing by inflatable boat with expert guides. We book your cabin and every flight and hotel that gets you to the ship.

Choose where to cruise

Start where cruises work best.

  • France

    Canal barges glide through Burgundy, Champagne and the south between vineyards and villages.

  • Egypt

    Nile cruises link Luxor and Aswan, with temples on the banks at almost every bend.

  • Peru

    Amazon river voyages pair with Cusco and Machu Picchu on the same trip.

  • Ecuador

    Small ships sail the Galápagos, with landings and snorkelling most days.

  • Netherlands

    River and canal cruises pass windmills, tulip fields and historic towns.

  • United Kingdom

    Barge cruises follow the Caledonian Canal and Loch Ness through the Highlands.

  • Croatia

    Small ships cruise the Dalmatian islands, stopping at old ports and coves.

Questions travellers ask

Which type of cruise suits us best?+
Canal barges suit a slow, intimate week with very few guests. River cruises cover more ground through Europe, Egypt or Asia, and expedition cruises reach wild places such as the Galápagos and Antarctica.
How long are most cruises?+
Canal barge cruises usually last six nights, river cruises run from about a week to two, and expedition voyages range from a week to three weeks or more. Your travel expert can match the length to your time away.
Are excursions included on cruises?+
Many cruises include guided excursions at each stop, and each itinerary lists what is covered. Your travel expert confirms the inclusions for your sailing.
Can we combine a cruise with a land journey?+
Yes. A Nile cruise pairs with Cairo, an Amazon voyage with Machu Picchu, and a barge week with Paris. Your travel expert plans the stays and transfers either side.
Is a cruise a good choice for a honeymoon or anniversary?+
Yes. A barge in France or a river cruise on the Nile makes a relaxed, romantic trip. Tell your travel expert about the occasion and the cabin and details are chosen to suit.
When is the best time to cruise in Europe?+
European river and canal cruises run from spring to autumn, with mild weather in May, June and September. Winter sailings visit the Christmas markets in December.
