By land & water — cruising with Audley

For over 25 years, we’ve been designing meaningful trips, and this extends to cruising. From navigating the Panama Canal to crossing the Drake Passage and venturing ashore in snow-laden Antarctica, our cruise portfolio spans river, expedition, and ocean voyages, offering experiences you couldn’t possibly replicate on land.

Travelling with Audley is about revealing the best of a destination, and that often means experiencing it by land and by water. By working with our specialists, you can ensure your clients enjoy a trip that combines both, allowing them to get to know their destination from all angles.

Each of our cruise specialists shares a love of being on the water and understands the allure of casting off the bowlines to explore beyond the shoreline. Their first-hand knowledge of our carefully selected ships and sailings means they can match your clients with a vessel, route, and onshore experiences that suit how they want their voyage to feel. And, because they’ve tried and tested each cruise themselves, they know the finer details of the ship that your clients will travel on, so they can choose the right cabin, suggest dining options, and arrange the best experiences on port days.

We’re here to make your life easier by ensuring that your clients have the trip they’ve been imagining in the most seamless way possible. By combining our long-time expertise in creating tailor-made trips with our cruise specialists’ in-depth knowledge, we can craft an itinerary that covers every aspect of being on both land and water. From making complex flight arrangements and transfers to recommending stays and experiences on land and advising on the best route, stateroom, and tours while on the water, we take care of everything.

Our cruise offering spans every continent, so no matter what your client's preferred type of cruise or destination, we can take them there. Our sample itineraries are just the beginning. Nothing about Audley is prescribed, and every aspect of the trip we create will be your client’s alone to define.

We’ve poured all our knowledge into our cruise brochure, The World by Water, to show you the one-of-a-kind trips we can create for your clients.

The brochure features useful information and ideas from our specialists, including:

• what it means to cruise with Audley
• our cruise partners
• where you can cruise, worldwide, with us
• trip ideas from across our ocean, river, and expedition offerings

Just as we’re discerning about who we work with on land, we are with our cruise partners, too. We select ships based on the quality of their facilities and attentive service, the ship’s size, the on-board experiences — such as cooking classes with Michelin-starred chefs — and tours offered in port. We test them all ourselves, so you can be confident your clients are in good hands. Here’s just a small selection of the cruise partners we work with.

Silversea

Docking at a remote town on a lesser-known Greek island. Venturing off-ship to soar over Tasmania’s mountains by light aircraft. Spotting albatross colonies and Māori sites from on deck in New Zealand… A cruise with Silversea lets your clients experience their destination on a deeper level. And, with each ship’s all-frills facilities, highly personal service, and ocean-facing suites with private verandas, they can balance adventure with all the luxuries of a five-star retreat.

Star Clippers

Masts lined with crisp white sails billow above you in the breeze, transporting you back to a golden age of travel as you navigate the Croatian coast or Windward Islands. Star Clippers’ fleet of square-rigger ships gives you an authentic, inimitable sailing experience, awash with grandeur and a sense of adventure. At the same time, they’re equipped with all the modern amenities needed for a relaxing voyage. And, their size means they can dock at smaller ports, away from the crowds.

Azamara

Cruising with Azamara lets your clients make the most of the destinations they visit. Its ships spend longer in port and have more overnight stays than most, giving clients extra time to explore on land at their own pace. They also dock at smaller, lesser-known locations as well as the big names, providing different perspectives during the voyage. On board, spacious staterooms and suites, spa facilities, and varied dining options ensure days at sea are relaxed and enjoyable.

Regent Seven Seas

World-class dining and a service where everything’s included… sailing with Regent Seven Seas gives your clients a taste of the finer things in life. Whether it’s sipping a drink on the private balcony of an expansive suite or unwinding with a massage in the spa, the on-board amenities are a highlight in themselves. Onshore, the selection of experiences available in every port is designed to give your clients a deeper insight into their destination.

Celebrity Cruises

A voyage with Celebrity Cruises is all about the adventure. From the glaciers and fjords of Alaska’s Inside Passage to the Galapagos Islands’ charismatic cast of endemic wildlife, your clients can discover far-flung corners and explore places they’d otherwise miss by land, all while enjoying exceptional service, food, and facilities on board. Plus, many of the ships have been designed with their destinations in mind, so journeys feel even more bespoke.

Quark Expeditions

Icy wind whistling over mirror-smooth seas, the sleek shapes of an orca pod in pursuit of a seal, an iceberg glowing deep blue in the midnight sun… A polar expedition is filled with moments that are hard to replicate elsewhere. By choosing a Quark Expeditions ship, your clients can explore these last frontiers in comfort, with wraparound viewing decks, spacious suites, and, in some cases, helicopters. Plus, the ship’s intimate size means it can reach areas where bigger vessels can’t fit, expanding your clients’ horizons.
