Holland America Line

Holland America Line is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year and is a leading pioneer in cruise holidays. If you are looking for a cruise on a spacious and comfortable ship, want sophisticated dining, and have an extensive choice of activities, then you have come to the right place with this shipping company. Its fleet of 11 modern classic ships sails to all continents, and to both popular and lesser-known ports. Highly sought after are the cruises from Amsterdam and Rotterdam to the Norwegian fjords.

In 2019, Holland America Line received the awards “Best Alaska Cruises”, “Best Mexico Cruises” and “Best Panama Canal Cruises”. It has to be said, the Alaskan programmes do indeed promise a lot, with on top of the actual cruise, a train adventure aboard the McKinley Explorer to admire Denali National Park, and a narrow-gauge rail ride from Skagway to the heart of the Yukon, passing glacial rivers, waterfalls and gorges to really get a taste of wild Alaska.

Yacht cruise ships - Elixir Boutique Cruises

Elixir Boutique Cruises Emerald Cruises

Elixir Boutique Cruises proposes immersive cultural cruises which show the real Greece, with a marked accent on wellbeing. Elixir offers an almost perfect combination for relaxation, wellbeing, discovery, learning and pleasure on board the Elysium, an elegant yacht with room for 58 passengers. An Elixir cruise is a voyage of discovery for the body, the mind, and the soul. By the way, the Elixir Balance Concept© is based on two ancient Greek concepts, that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body, and that balance is attained when everything is in order between the body and the mind.

These cruises let you discover pristine coves and divine beaches accessible only by yacht. Elixir also has an eye for ancient civilisations and new crafts. Or how about meditating at sunset, hiking on a volcanic hill or going fishing with the locals? You decide. The Elysium awaits you to soothe your soul and awaken your senses.

Yacht cruise ships - Emerald Cruises

Emerald Cruises has recently entered the yacht cruising segment with two luxury superyachts, Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara, carefully designed to provide access to smaller ports not accessible to others. This is intimate yacht cruising at its best to explore some of the most exciting destinations in the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Red Sea, Caribbean and Central America.

On board these superyachts, you can enjoy a succulent dinner on the al fresco terrace to soak up the gentle ocean breeze, then drop into the Horizon Bar for a nightcap. Each dish and glass of wine is inspired by the local region, so you can enjoy regional flavours along with a selection of traditional favourites during your cruise.
