STRIKE OUT FROM THE SHORE

Interested in small towns, quaint villages and cozy coves in the Caribbean, Alaska and the Mediterranean but want more creature comforts than even the finest shoreside hotels? Then look no further than our Ocean Collection voyages where smaller ships, exquisite service, and continental cuisine blend into a vacation you will never forget.

UNIQUE MEMORIES

On a Caribbean beach with linen white sands and sparkling sapphire waves a tuxedoed waiter wades into the water to bring you a glass of champagne. A local craftsman creates an inlaid wooden box at a family-run shop in Sorrento, you dine in a Spanish castle by candlelight and absorb the elegance of Monte Carlo’s fabled casino.

LIVE YOUR DREAMS

Dive alongside a local for black pearls in a crystalline South Pacific lagoon surrounded by lush peaks. Kayak among the bobbing chunks of ice shed by an Alaskan glacier. Walk in the footsteps of China’s past along the Great Wall and uncover the spiritual importance of Kyoto in Japan. Some of the world’s greatest treasures lie along her sun-kissed coasts.
