At Ultimate Cruising, we love creating holidays that are anything but ordinary. We ask ourselves what would make a trip truly unforgettable — the kind that stays with you long after you’ve come home — and then we design it. Our World Affairs series is exactly that: a fascinating blend of luxury cruising, inspiring guest speakers, and exclusive access to some of Europe’s most historic and thought-provoking sites. It’s perfect for travellers who enjoy comfort, curiosity, and a deeper connection to the places they visit.
If you’ve ever loved the idea of cruising but found the pace of a new destination every day just a little too rushed, Regent Seven Seas' new Immersive Overnights Collection may be your perfect escape. Imagine an itinerary designed to let you slow down, linger a little longer, and truly immerse yourself in each port. Instead of arriving in the early morning and departing late afternoon, these cruises overnight in port allowing you more time to explore and savour the destination at a slower pace.
In 2027, a once-in-a-lifetime voyage awaits. Aranui Cruises, long celebrated for connecting travellers to the heart of French Polynesia, is launching its brand-new ship, Aranoa—and with it, an extraordinary journey to Pitcairn and the Gambier Islands, some of the most remote and fascinating destinations in the South Pacific.
For many, Antarctica is the ultimate travel dream—raw, untouched, and unlike anywhere else on earth. But for some, the prospect of crossing the infamous Drake Passage can be daunting. That’s why Silversea’s 6-night Antarctica fly-cruise offers such a remarkable alternative. By flying directly into King George Island, you skip the roughest seas of the Southern Ocean and arrive in the heart of Antarctica refreshed, excited, and ready to explore.
Every now and then we meet a partner and think, “Ah, this is made for our travellers.” Tauck is one of those partners. Not because of a shiny brochure or a clever tagline, but because they offer trips that we know will meet every expectation of our customers. Find out why!
