Sailing ships provide the unique experience to cruise through
shallower waters and are wind powered, making for a quieter, more
intimate and environmentally friendly experience. Seeing the wind
blowing in the sails while you pass beautiful coastlines also adds
to the tranquil quality of sailing cruises.

Some of our sailing ships
Apollo III
They say that old racing yachts never die - they just sail off
into a tropical sunset and it was indeed this fate that was in
store for the Apollo III, Alan Bond's former America's Cup training
ship, when she came to the end of her racing career. The Apollo III
is a 55ft ocean racing ship that competed in many of the major
races around the world. She now sails at a more relaxed pace,
offering cruises on the Great Barrier Reef in the Whitsunday
Islands. Accommodating just 12 guests, she has flat decks and full
headroom throughout, offering a good level of comfort for fast
sailing. Become part of the crew of this performance racing yacht:
Set the sails, grind the winches or take a turn at the helm as you
cruise through the idyllic scenery of the Whitsundays.

Panorama
The Panorama was launched in 1993 and fully renovated in 2009
and is now a state of the art sail cruiser comfortably
accommodating up to 49 passengers. The ship boasts a spacious
dining room, lounge and bar area, including a well stocked library,
providing a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Life on board the
Panorama centres around the outdoor areas and its sun deck is the
perfect place in which to relax, sunbathe and admire the passing
scenery.

Le Ponant
The super luxury vessel, Orion II was launched in May 2011, and
is set to change the face of expedition cruising. This private
yacht-like cruise ship accommodates just 100 guests in 50
handsomely-appointed suites with private ocean views. The interiors
of rich fabrics, elegant wood, polished brass and rare antiquities
blend perfectly with the ship's inviting facilities and reflect
both elegance and supreme cruising pleasure. An expedition cruise
on the Orion II is sure to be the trip of a lifetime for anyone
searching for adventure alongside first class service and
facilities.

Sea Cloud
The Sea Cloud, built in 1931, was at that time the largest
private yacht ever constructed. Since then the world's most
luxurious tall ship has been restored to its original splendor,
generating excitement in each port. The Sea Cloud's most remarkable
features are her four masts, 29 sails and the tangled web of lines
stretching 178 feet skyward to support the rigging. Unlike modern
sailing ships, all sail setting on the Sea Cloud is done by
hand.
