The A

Why cruise on this ship?

When your waterfront hotel is also your taxi, bar, favorite restaurant, nightclub and yoga studio, travel becomes a bit more relaxed and a lot more hassle-free.

Onboard, you can expect everything you’d find in your favorite boutique hotel. But here’s the best part. Your floating boutique hotel makes it extra-easy to visit several European destinations in a single trip while only having to unpack once.

Find your perfect cruise!

Everything about this trip was first-rate. It was particularly amazing how well this small ship accommodated our vegan diet. The maitre d sought us out at every meal to ensure we knew what we could ...
