Coastal cruises

Some of the world's most dramatic scenery can be found along the coasts of Norway, Croatia, the Cyclades and the Whitsunday Islands. Coastal cruises let you approach new countries in the spirit of the first explorers to arrive there after crossing the ocean from their homelands. You will experience the charming harbours and villages along the shore as well as the broad expanse of the open ocean and be able to get a taste of many different regions of the same country.

L'Austral

The state-of-the-art mega-yacht, L'Austral launched in May 2011, bringing a unique blend of luxury, intimacy and well-being to small ship cruising. With just 132 cabins, L'Austral's sleek design and small size means she can offer exclusive itineraries featuring ports of call that are inaccessible to larger ships. The yacht's distinctive shape features smooth contours and large, arched windows, opening up to the sea and letting in the light. Precious materials in soothing neutral tones are brought to life with splashes of colour to create a discreet elegance reminiscent of a private yacht.

Halong Ginger

The Ginger blends classical beauty with modern comfort, catering to groups of between 6 and 20 people. Measuring 38 metres in length and 8 metres in width, she has 3 decks that house the elegant restaurant, a lounge, 2 bars, a small boutique and a library, as well as 10 luxurious sleeping cabins. Fitted out with wood and bamboo, the interior is charming. The stylish decoration of the dining room - not to mention the fact that the staff change their uniforms to serve meals - is highly impressive, seemingly more suited to a five-star hotel.
