These itineraries are based on a certain geographical logic and they have been formed with years of experience behind them. When you're planning the cruise route, you can use the standard programs of our regular yacht tours as a reference. For detailed program, please click on the name of the route.
The itineraries have been designed so as to ensure maximum guest comfort and relaxation, whilst providing for plenty of interest at a variety of stops. It is necessary that these itineraries remain a little flexible so as to allow for sudden weather conditions and crowds at certain times of the year. If this is the case, it maybe necessary to move to an alternative mooring.
