If you’re looking for large-scale luxury with small-ship ambience, Seabourn Cruise Line could be for you.

Think private club atmosphere: on a Seabourn cruise everyone is treated like a VIP. From hand-selected itineraries to intuitive service, and spacious, all-suite accommodations, you’ll be made to feel welcome from the moment you step onboard. It’s no wonder that Seabourn was recently named Cruise Critic’s Best Luxury Cruise Line!
Seabourn offers cruises to all seven continents; choose from 17 destinations and 464 ports.
Specialising in river cruises, Avalon Waterways offers a unique way to explore some of the world’s most popular towns and cities, as well a selection of remote, off-the-beaten-track destinations.

Or cruise down the Ganges River in India and learn all about the vibrant culture, history, and life of this famous stretch of water. Avalon Waterways river cruises are located in three regions: Europe, Asia, and South America offering unique cruise experiences to suit every traveller.
Relax in a contemporary-designed vessel featuring elegant interiors, or head up to the Sky Deck which is available on every ship to enjoy stunning views.
