EXPLORE ABOARD OUR 14- TO 98-PASSENGER FLEET
M/V Clio, Baltic Sea
UNMATCHED COMFORT, CAMARADERIE, AND CONVENIENCE
Traveling aboard our 14- to 98-passenger privately owned and privately chartered vessels is an adventure unlike any other. You’ll enjoy the convenience of unpacking just once, coupled with the thrill of discovering a new port of call almost daily. Throughout your voyage, you’ll enjoy ample included activities, as well as free time to pursue your own interests—perhaps even venturing off the beaten path on one of the ship’s onboard bicycles.
ACCESS PORTS LARGER SHIPS CAN’T REACH
Our small ships can navigate narrow passageways and off-the-beaten-path ports larger vessels can’t reach, and can transport you to far-flung islands, historic canals, and narrow fjords that are only accessible by ship. In fact, on some itineraries, we visit ports that are so remote, they can be only reached by Zodiac craft or tender. Whenever possible, we dock right in the heart of each destination, so you spend less time transferring and more time connecting with local culture.

AUTHENTIC CULTURAL CONNECTIONS
Thanks to our small group size—no more than 25 travelers, guaranteed— our travelers can slip more easily into the pace of life. Locals welcome us as guests rather than tourists and proudly share their traditions. So whether you’re enjoying Home- Hosted Visits, spending A Day in the Life of remote villages, discussing Controversial Topics, or visiting Grand Circle Foundation-supported schools, you’ll enjoy intimate cultural experiences on every small ship itinerary.
TRIP EXPERIENCE LEADERS & LOCAL SUPPORT
As residents of the region you visit, our Trip Experience Leaders are experts on local life and invaluable resources for personalized discoveries. When you’re exploring together, they’ll share personal anecdotes about their homelands. During nightly Port Talks onboard, they’ll share insights into the history and culture of the next day’s port of call. And with more than 2,000 regional associates and 35 offices worldwide, enjoy the comfort of knowing that our team is always available, 24/7.
ALL AT AN UNSURPASSED VALUE
Our unbeatable per diems mean that you’ll travel at the lowest prices per day while enjoying a wealth of included features: all accommodations, most meals, daily cultural activities and most gratuities. No other travel company offers more discovery for less. Solo travelers enjoy an unmatched value, too, with our free or low-cost Single Supplements.
