We take you away from the usual, beyond traditional cruising, and closer to adventure. We bring an area to life with onboard historians and naturalists, wine-tastings, photography workshops and culinary demonstrations. In port, you’ll experience the authentic flavors of a region from kayaking to horse-drawn carriage rides. Our trademark bow ramp can literally take you from ship to shore, but we also dock where private yachts dock making the places you want to see as accessible as possible. And with no more than 96 guests there are never over-crowded spaces or herding in port…making your cruise a casual, relaxing and personal adventure.

Discover the unexpected pleasure of exploring waters less traveled. Journey through the locks and legends of the Erie Canal, literally going where no other cruise ships can. Our retractable pilot houses allow us to take you under the Canal’s low bridges opening doorways to America’s past. Explore the Rio Dulce in Guatemala where the only other vessels you’ll see are day boats taking passengers on brief jaunts. You spend 2 days on this magnificent river watching one wonder after another unfold from lush shorelines, to dramatic gorges, to thatched hut villages. You experience it all in-depth and from the comfort of your ship where un-crowded decks, air conditioned spaces, and beverages are yours to enjoy. In Canada, cruise the spectacular Georgian Bay and anchor near the North Channel where stargazing is taken to another level. If your idea of getting away is like ours, go with us…go where others cannot.
