Last minute cruises
Small ship cruising last minute holidays take you off radar to places you won’t find on any scratch map. If you can get last minute availability on a small ship cruising holiday to the Galapagos, for example, you might go scuba diving off remote Wolf Island. Or with sailing cruises you can drift through unusual archipelagos such Burma’s Mergui, Turkey’s Göceks or Greenland’s Land of a Thousand Islands. Think small in a big watery world.
