Hard-to-reach Destinations

Luxury is also about being able to access hard-to-reach destinations or providing VIP access to places, structures, and areas not widely available. Think private access and intimate explorations. Luxury vessels travel beyond the beaten path, allowing you to discover more than most in overnight stays and land excursions. It’s about ticking off the bucket list whilst also venturing beyond your wildest imagination to places untouched, undiscovered, or unknown. The intimate size of Seabourne’s ships means they can reach ports of call larger ships could only dream of for guests to explore precious sights before returning to their on-board, six-star abode.

Slowing Down

The slower pace of life is a luxury for most in today’s busy always-on world. Many are taking cruise holidays seeking to escape the demands of technology, break mobile phone habits, and enhance mindfulness and wellness. A cruise can liberate you from the barrage of news cycles, emails, and social feeds. Oceania provides a relaxing pace that makes the experience that much more enjoyable – and there’s never any need to rush or worry about crowds or waiting in long lines. Avalon Waterways offers intimate cruise spaces with immersive, local itineraries. Experiencing life along the riverbanks, a key aspect of slow travel is supporting local communities, indulging in locally sourced food and wine, and engaging with local tour guides in each destination. This helps to bring each place to life while inviting you to explore the beautiful scenery slowly and mindfully. Expect uninterrupted quality time and true relaxation – that’s pure luxury.
