Blue Water Holidays - Escape to Faraway Shores Brochure

Blue Water Holidays specialises in distinctive cruising experiences to far-flung corners of the world. The Escape to Faraway Shores brochure brings together an eclectic mix of voyages - from tropical island sailing and wildlife-rich river journeys to remote expedition cruises - designed for travellers who want to explore beyond the ordinary.

Sailing and Small Ship Cruises

Blue Water Holidays offers authentic voyages under full sail through the stunning island groups off the coast of Thailand. Travellers can also explore the beautiful National Parks of Borneo and Malaysia aboard sail-assisted ships, or venture to the paradise islands of the Maldives on a small ship cruise. These itineraries are designed to reach places larger vessels simply cannot.

River Cruises Through Asia and the Americas

The brochure features a rich selection of river cruising routes. In South-East Asia, the legendary Mekong River winds through Vietnam and Cambodia, offering an immersive journey through ancient cultures and riverside communities. In India, the Brahmaputra River passes the ancient temples and traditional tea plantations of the Assam Valley. Further afield, the Columbia and Snake Rivers of the Pacific Northwest provide a dramatic American wilderness experience.

Expedition Cruises to Remote Wilderness

For the most adventurous travellers, Blue Water Holidays includes expedition cruises to two of the world's most compelling natural destinations. The remote Galapagos archipelago offers extraordinary wildlife encounters in a unique volcanic landscape, while Antarctica - described as the White Continent - rewards visitors with vast ice fields and colonies of penguins and seals. These voyages are small-scale and immersive by design.
