A pillow menu offers customized head and neck comfort during rest. At the same time, a large flat-screen TV, an espresso machine with Illy premium coffee, tea-making facilities with the finest Kusmi teas, and a minibar with refreshments enhance relaxation at any time.

Embark on this incredible 8-night Svalbard Circumnavigation cruise on board a boutique expedition ship touring Norway’s remote Svalbard archipelago within the Arctic Circle. Feast your eyes on the alluring icy blue waters of the polar region as we sail past glaciers calving icebergs to the edge of far-reaching slabs of pack ice that can only be seen in this part of the world. Experience the unique arctic environment, endless days and the rarely seen wildlife that populates it. Very few people ever spot polar bears, walrus, reindeer and arctic foxes in their natural habitat, while thousands of seabirds, beluga whales track our voyage through this unforgettable icy wilderness.
Sail through the land of the midnight sun past spectacular scenery on our 10-night Wonders of the Fjords adventure as our luxury expedition ship visits the places it was built to explore. We leave from Tromso, 250 miles above the Arctic Circle, visiting the friendly Lofoten Islands, before slipping into fjords, from one of the narrowest that a ship can navigate, Trollfjorden, to Norway’s longest, Sognefjord, and, arguably, the most beautiful, Geirangerfjord. You’ll snake past mighty glaciers, along tiny channels, through emerald-green waters, past magnificent waterfalls and around rugged headlands, before heading south. By the time we arrive in Amsterdam, you’ll have visited remote lands and seen some of Norway’s wildest scenery in boutique style.
Leaving the low-lying city of Amsterdam, we follow in the footsteps of sailors, artists and royals, exploring ports along the English Channel, before venturing along the Atlantic coasts of France, Spain and Portugal. This luxury 9-night cruise of Western Europe on board our boutique ship carries you between two European capitals and covers five countries. Along the way, gaze upon Normandy beaches, wander along Gothic ramparts, feast on seafood, and explore a Roman lighthouse. Sit back and enjoy this leisurely voyage taking in fishing villages, fortified medieval towns, ancient port cities and picturesque harbours before arriving in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon.
