Small-Ship Cruises

Whether you're exploring the historic ruins of Greece, the charming coastal villages of Italy, or the hidden gems of Croatia, each destination has its own story to tell. 

West and north of the British mainland, several hundred islands pierce the north Atlantic to create a wonderland of seabird-speckled cliffs, towering sea stacks, secret waterways, glorious mountains and windswept moors.

Experience a medley of culture, traditions, and history as you travel beyond the ordinary, immersing yourself in each destination and creating lasting memories. Exclusive to Vantage Explorations, this curated approach to cruising appeals to experienced globetrotters eager to share the magic of exploration with like-minded travelers, in a relaxed atmosphere.

Hosted by an expert storyteller, each voyage reveals hidden gems and untold narratives that make each destination unique. Our Small Ship Cruises offer an unparalleled level of service and attention to detail that redefines the very essence of sea-based travel, offering a journey that is as enlightening as it is unforgettable
