Mediterranean

Mediterranean

The Mediterranean remains the most travelled luxury cruise region in the world, and with good reason. Ancient cities, hidden harbours, exceptional food, and a coastline that rewards slow exploration. For first-time luxury cruisers and seasoned sailors alike, it is where most journeys begin.

Best time to visit

May to June, September to October

Voyage Length

7 to 14 nights typically

Lines We recommend

Silversea

Seabourn

Explora Journeys

Ponant

Caribbean

Caribbean

The Caribbean at its best is nothing like the brochures suggest. Private islands, overnight anchorages in bays that larger ships cannot reach, and mornings that begin with total silence. The right ship makes all the difference here.

Best time to visit

December to April — dry season, calm seas

Voyage Length

7 to 14 nights typically

Lines We recommend

Seabourn

Ritz-Carlton Yachts

Silversea

Viking

Northern Europe
& Fjords

Northern Europe
& Fjords

Norway’s fjords are among the most dramatic landscapes accessible by sea. Paired with the history of the Baltic capitals, Northern Europe offers a combination of natural wonder and cultural depth that few regions match.

Best time to visit

May to August — long days, accessible fjords

Voyage Length

10 to 14 nights typically

Lines We recommend

Viking

Ponant

Silversea

Seabourn

Alaska

Alaska

Alaska is best seen from the water. Glaciers that calve into the sea, humpback whales in channels too narrow for the large ships, and a wilderness that puts the scale of the world into perspective. Expedition ships do this particularly well.

Best time to visit

May to September, Peak glaciers in June/July

Voyage Length

7 to 14 nights typically

Lines We recommend

Seabourn

Silversea

Ponant

Viking

Antarctica

Antarctica

Antarctica is not a destination you choose lightly. It requires the right ship, the right operator, and the right timing. Those who go rarely describe it as a holiday. It is something else — an encounter with a place that very few people have seen.

Best time to visit

November to March, Southern summer

Voyage Length

14 to 21 nights typically

Lines We recommend

Scenic Eclipse

Silversea Expeditions

Ponant

Seabourn

Galapagos

Galapagos

The Galapagos Islands are among the most tightly regulated destinations on earth — which is precisely what preserves them. Small ships are not just preferred here; they are required. The wildlife, the silence, and the strangeness of the place are unlike anywhere else.

Best time to visit

Year-round — varies by wildlife activity

Voyage Length

7 to 14 nights typically

Lines We recommend

Silversea Expeditions

Ponant

Asia & Indian Ocean

Asia & Indian Ocean

From the spice islands of Indonesia to the temples of Japan, Asia rewards the traveller who moves slowly and goes deep. The Indian Ocean — Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Seychelles — offers a different pace entirely.

Best time to visit

Oct to Apr (Indian Ocean)
Mar–May, Sep–Nov (SE Asia)

Voyage Length

10 to 21 nights typically

Lines We recommend

Silversea

Ponant

Regent Seven Seas

Viking

South Pacific

South Pacific

The South Pacific — French Polynesia, Fiji, Tonga, and the outer islands — is the kind of place that most people talk about and few actually reach. Small ships make the difference. Overnight anchorages in private bays, water that is genuinely clear.

Best time to visit

May to October, Cooler, drier, calm seas

Voyage Length

10 to 21 nights typically

Lines We recommend

Ponant

Silversea
