Audley Travel launches ocean cruising

Tuesday, 09 Sep, 2024 0

Audley Travel has added ocean cruising to its holiday portfolio.

Joining the existing river and expedition cruise offering, Audley customers can now curate their own trips with ocean cruises

Audley has teamed up with select cruise operators as partners.

Cruise experiences now available as part of bespoke itineraries.

These can include sailing onboard a fully rigged ship in the eastern Mediterranean to bucket-list voyages such as navigating the Panama Canal.

In addition to existing river and expedition cruise operators, Audley will be initially working with Aranui, Azamara, Celebrity Cruises, Cunard, Holland America, Paul Gauguin, Ponant, Regent Seven Seas, Seabourn, Silversea Cruises and Star Clippers.

Sean Atton, Global Cruise Manager at Audley Travel said: “Travelling with Audley is about revealing the best of a destination and that often means experiencing it by land and by sea.

“The expansion of our cruise offering to partner with ocean cruise operators is a natural progression.”

Sample itineraries include:

Japan and South Korea (Azamara)

Land highlights – exploring the volcanic landscapes and hot springs of Hakone. Audley can also arrange a private class in calligraphy, a tea ceremony or ikebana flower arranging in Kyoto.
