ARCTIC ADVENTURE, CULTURAL ISLAND-HOPPING AND AN ARRAY OF NATURAL WONDERS: SMALL-SHIP CRUISES IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA WITH ARTISAN TRAVEL
Industry: Cruise       

Taking a small-ship cruise is the perfect way to explore new destinations: the slow pace provides a relaxing feel, vistas are breathtaking from the water, wildlife encounters are plentiful, trips can encompass an array of different locations, ships can dock at smaller harbours with fewer tourists and a high level of on board service provides an added element of luxury.

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - April 30th, 2018 - Independent inspiring holiday specialist Artisan Travel offers a range of small-ship cruises with comfortable cabin accommodation and fascinating itineraries. These include:

NEW: Small-Ship Sailing from Andalucía to the Algarve – from £2,845 pp

Sail the southern coast of Spain from Málaga to Portimão in Portugal’s Algarve, on the MY Harmony G, a 46-passenger mega yacht. Stopping at key locations on the way, with the chance to take part in a selection of optional excursions, look forward to the outstanding historical architecture of Cádiz, be amazed by the landscape of Gibraltar, and wander around stunning Seville, amongst many other Iberian highlights. This nine-night trip is priced from £2,845 pp (two sharing), including transfers, two nights’ hotel B&B accommodation, seven nights’ full board cabin accommodation, equipment for snorkelling and fishing during stops at sea and a dedicated onboard cruise co-ordinator for the duration.

NEW: Glaciers, Whales & Hidden Coves Cruise – from £4,075 pp

Set sail on a small-ship cruise in this most glorious part of Alaska, far away from the tourist trail that the larger cruise vessels follow. Setting out from Juneau, discover the true wilderness at a slower, more relaxed pace, allowing for more time to take in the stunning surroundings and, weather permitting, use the skiffs, kayaks and paddle boards on board to explore further. This itinerary features new additions, including a visit to Kuiu Island, home to one of the world’s densest populations of black bears, with the journey through Chatham Strait - arguably one of the best place to see whales in the region - another of the many highlights of this epic cruise.
