SOPHISTICATED
SAILING
Next summer will see the
arrival of the 100-passenger,
all-suite Silver Origin, which
promises to be ‘the most
elegant ship ever to sail the
Galápagos, and one of the
most environmentally friendly’.
It will have one certified
member of the expedition
team for every 10 passengers,
in addition to a total cruise
complement of around 100,
making it luxurious and
educational (silversea.com).
VOYAGE
À DEUX
Looking for something
a little more bijou for your
next cruise? Sail the tranquil
backwaters of the southern
Indian state of Kerala on
a converted rice barge, which
has just one double bedroom,
an open deck, dining salon
and a crew of three (two
captains and a cook). The
experience is utterly magical.
It costs £350 for two people
per night on a private basis
full board (coxandkings.co.uk).
STOP PRESS! Following the purchase of three ships, TUI will of fer river cruising for the first time from next summer. Visit tui.co.uk.
