Cruise Journey to Africa!

Journey with Us to Africa!

Ultra-luxury small-ship cruises are the extraordinary way to experience cultural and educational travel.Cruise itineraries are designed to give emphasis to the understanding of traditional cultures and the natural world. We are now booking 2009 sailings to the south coast or along the west coast of Africa.
In the months ahead, we will offer year-round exploration aboard the newly rebuilt 60 passenger luxury vessel Daphne.

Educational programs aboard small luxury cruise ships are conducted by distinguished scholars and experts.
These programs have been specifically designed for the traveler with a keen intellectual interest in history, culture, and nature.
Traveling in small groups, we can arrange activities not available to passengers on large cruise ships – such as:

Visits to private homes
Receptions with local officials
Dinners with nobility
Curator-guided museum tours
Private music, dance and folkloric performances

Facing outside with sea views, all accommodations aboard Corinthian II are suites - several have balconies with sliding doors.
Staff and crew are expertly trained and dedicated to providing you with an unparalleled level of diversity, congeniality and service.
