Tailor-made cruises and yachting

Many regions of the world - and among the most striking - can only be reached by boat.
They reveal their beauty only to those who approach by water.

In Tierra del Fuego, in Myanmar, on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe or along the coast of Alaska. On the Rio Negro in Brazil or around the Svalbard archipelago in Norway. Among the hundreds of islands of Indonesia or in the meanders of the Mekong Delta. Wherever the destination, at sea or along rivers, we offer only small-scale, human-sized vessels, or fully privatised boats for you alone. In our view, this is the only way to fully experience this kind of journey.
We stand at the opposite end of the gigantism and mass tourism offered by some cruise operators.

This collection of journeys on the water is a glimpse of the cruise possibilities we can offer, whether on fixed departure dates or fully tailor-made ones (dates, duration, etc.), aboard a vessel shared with other travellers or entirely private, even for two.

The possibilities are many.
More than ever, do not hesitate to contact our specialists by phone or email.
