Italy, Sicily and Malta  Cruises

Cruise Overview

CRUISES IN ITALY, SICILY & MALTA

Nestled seductively in the heart of the Mediterranean, Italy has been captivating travelers since ancient times. Regardless of your preferences, Sicily’s diverse landscape makes an unforgettable first impression, and its numerous offshore islands provide ample activities for a complete vacation. Malta’s astounding prehistoric sites, crafted by sophisticated temple builders, feature miniature figurines and monumental ‘fat lady’ sculptures that have withstood the test of time and are now displayed in Malta’s captivating museums. In the open air, grand temples and towers from various eras stand majestically, maintaining their eternal vigil over the sea. Emerging from the cobalt-blue waters off Sicily’s northeastern coast, the UNESCO-protected Aeolian Islands are a slice of paradise. This seven-island archipelago offers abundant opportunities for relaxation and outdoor adventure.

Why Should I Choose A Small Ship Cruise

Small ship cruises offer a more intimate and personalised travel experience compared to large cruise ships. Some of the benefits of small ship cruises include:
1.      Flexibility: Small ship cruises can access ports and locations that larger ships cannot, giving passengers the opportunity to visit unique and remote destinations not possible on larger vessels.
2.      Personalised experience: With fewer passengers, small ship cruises offer a more personalised experience. The crew can provide individual attention to each guest, and the itinerary can be customised to suit the group's preferences.
3.      Privacy: Small ship cruises allow for a more private and intimate experience. Passengers can enjoy the ship's amenities without the crowds and queues that are common on larger ships.
4.      Cultural immersion: Small ship cruises often offer opportunities to learn about the local culture and traditions of the destinations visited. This can include onboard lectures, local guides, and authentic cultural experiences.
5.      Eco-friendly: Small ships have a smaller environmental footprint than larger cruise ships. They consume less fuel and produce fewer emissions, making them a more sustainable choice for travellers who are concerned about their impact on the environment.

Overall, small ship cruises provide a unique and immersive travel experience that is well-suited for travellers who value intimacy, flexibility, and cultural immersion.
