BESPOKE
CRUISING
The real advantage of a small ship over a luxury hotel
is that you can determine what, where, when, how
and for how long. Naturally, there are limitations on
your access to each vessel (every ship has some pre-
set itineraries) but a sole charter is one way to avoid
many of these. Sometimes, existing bookings can
even be changed by paying compensation to booked
passengers, for example.
If you are considering a cruise option, therefore, you
might also consider a completely bespoke itinerary on
a boutique yacht or small luxury cruise ship (up to 650
pax). Bespoke cruising is also possible on larger luxury
cruise ships (1100 to 2500 pax) but your choice is
likely to be more restricted and notice required will
almost certainly be longer.
Your Client may well be attracted by the prospect of being
able to determine start point and date, itinerary and end
point and date:
◆
Days and activities can be structured just as required
◆ Theming and branding opportunities are virtually limitless
◆ The luxury characteristics of a five-star cruise still come
as standard, from international communications to fine
wines and cuisine
◆ You can still add luxury options at the start (such as
limousine transfers), during the trip (butler service) and
at the end (such as a private jet charter home)
◆ All entertainment is included in the cost of our cruises,
but you can also add your own entertainers: perhaps
a stand-up comedian, a TV celebrity or a music star
Bespoke cruising can be complex to arrange.
