Cruises
Access and control over seas and oceans has long provided the foundations for some of the world’s greatest civilisations. Our cruises provide an apt perspective from which to traverse these maritime legacies.
The participants on our cruises take a package which include access to preliminary talks and lectures, accommodation ashore and aboard the ship, flights and transfers, meals with wine and much else beside.
Cruises planned for 2026 include:
Sailing the Adriatic (May)
Sailing the Danube (July)
Sailing the Aegean (October)
