Expeditions for the adventurous Voyages with fine dining and comfort Holiday Cruises

Stepping aboard a tall ship can feel daunting: unfamiliar rules, a new routine and life at sea. Voyage formats vary, so start with one that matches your experience, mobility and preferred level of participation.

Many leisure and introductory voyages welcome first-time sailors, while training and expedition voyages can be more demanding. Check the operator’s age, fitness, mobility, swimming and participation requirements before booking. We help you compare the available information, and the operator confirms whether a voyage is suitable for you.

Training, leisure, expedition or a short sailing experience? Compare dates, routes, ships and operator information to choose a voyage that suits you. If anything is unclear, contact the operator before booking.

Don't worry - check our FAQ, you'll find full guidance, packing lists and support before you sail. You focus on dreams of waves and stars, we take care of the rest. If you have questions, our team is here to help!

Safety at sea is a priority - we understand concerns, especially if you're sailing with loved ones or for the first time.

Certification, crew qualifications, accessibility and family suitability are specific to each ship, operator and voyage. Review the operator’s current safety information and joining requirements before booking.

Concerns we know only too well

A sailing cruise should be exciting, not stressful. And yet - we know that feeling. Doubts whether you'll cope. Chaos in offers. Questions about logistics that no one answers straight. We listen to passengers and travellers - we know what holds them back from setting sail.
