Cruise and stay
The hotel nights, flights and transfers that turn a good cruise into a seamless holiday.
Most of what can go wrong on a cruise holiday happens before you board or after you leave. We plan the whole journey from your front door, so you arrive relaxed, sail on time and come home without a scramble.
Why it matters
Arrive the day before, not the morning of
Ships sail on time, with or without late passengers. A night or two in the embarkation city turns a delayed flight into an inconvenience rather than a missed cruise, and you start the voyage rested.
Staying on afterwards makes the last port a destination of its own, whether that is a few days in Venice or a lodge in the Andes.
- Flights at sensible times, with your luggage included
- Hotel nights before and after, in hotels we know
- Private transfers between airport, hotel and ship
- Airport lounges and fast track
- Travel insurance and concierge help throughout

Cruises and the stays that make them
A few of the combinations our guests love most. Every one can be tailored.

Quito and the Galápagos
Two nights in Quito, high in the Andes, to settle in before flying out to your ship, with the Amazon or Machu Picchu to follow if you wish.
Plan the Galápagos
Barcelona, Rome or Venice
The great Mediterranean embarkation cities deserve more than a taxi to the port. We add a night or two in a hotel we know, with a private guide if you would like one.

Vancouver and Alaska
A couple of nights in Vancouver, with Stanley Park and Granville Island, before sailing north to Alaska's glaciers and wildlife.
