Dear Traveler ,
There is something so special about being at sea . Weaving among the islands along the Dalmatian Coast … gazing upon towering fjords and busy fishing vessels … exploring unforgettable Mediterranean ports as a family — some of our best memories have been made on the water . If , like us , you are lured by the sea ’ s siren song , we invite you to embark on a Small Ship Adventure in 2024 .
We are honored to have been ranked # 4 Intimate-Ship Ocean Cruise Line of 2023 by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine .
Next year , our Small Ship Adventures will be more memorable and rewarding : We have 9 new itineraries in 2024 , many in destinations that are new to O . A . T ., including western Africa and the island of Madeira . You might choose to honor the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy during our new Cruising Northern Europe Small Ship Adventure . We ’ re also offering itineraries that provide a new perspective on our travelers ’ favorite destinations — such as north Africa , the Iberian peninsula , and Scandinavia — and we ’ ve enhanced 5 popular adventures based on traveler feedback .
All of these adventures feature our privately-owned 50- to 98-passenger small ships , which offer unparalleled access to local culture . We often dock right in the heart of the places we visit , so your small group of no more than 25 travelers will spend less time transferring and more time experiencing local life . Our friendly , English-speaking crew fosters a welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like family .
We are excited to share we have worked with our partners to improve your value even further on all of our Small Ship Adventures for 2024 . Plus , you will still enjoy all the included features you have come to expect , from explorations on land and all meals onboard , to the services of local Trip Experience Leaders — not to mention unique cultural discoveries .
From classic Mediterranean voyages in Greece and Croatia , to new horizons in northern or western Africa , a journey aboard our small ships will be as rewarding as your destinations . We look forward to welcoming you aboard in 2024 .
Warm regards ,
Harriet Lewis Chair
