NICHE & SPECIALTY CRUISES
​

​Niche and specialty cruises offer guests a cruise vacation with distinct expertise and focus. Most niche/specialty cruise lines are destination experts and provide guests with an opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture that they are visiting. Cruise lines in the specialty segment feature expertise to destinations like Antarctica, Hawaii, Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Greek Islands, South America, the Orient, Asia, and Scandinavia. Niche and specialty cruises which also include "soft-adventure" vacations will often feature the following to provide their guests with an enrichment experience as well as a vacation:
  • Destination-rich cultural itineraries
  • Enrichment seminars by distinguished guest experts
  • Naturalists, geologists, or licensed guides
  • Regional cuisine
  • Continental atmosphere with multinational guests
These cruise vacations emphasize destination and discovery and have a broad appeal to experienced travelers. Niche and specialty cruises are a great value and a convenient and comfortable way to see the world. Types of ships, accommodations, and amenities vary by the cruise line. Cruise fares range from less than $200 per person, per day, to $400 but will vary based on season and itinerary.

culinary cruises

We travel to experience the new: new cultures, new landscapes, new experiences. But of all these pleasures, what we tend to remember the most are the new flavors we encounter along the way. That’s because our taste buds have long memories, quickly recalling those fresh prawns in Sydney, the fizzy charm of Portugal’s Vinho Verde, and the spicy chilaquiles in Mexico.
We know how much you enjoy unique culinary experiences, and so our agency works hard to offer you exclusive culinary amenities—at no additional charge. We do this through our Culinary Collection sailings, a carefully curated selection of worldwide cruises. Each departure celebrates a world of epicurean delights offering extra amenities such as complimentary Chef's Table experiences, wine tasting events, specialty dining offers, galley tours, or wine and gourmet chocolates delivered to your stateroom.
In addition to the culinary amenity, you may also receive the services of a Distinctive Voyages Host, a Private Welcome Reception and an Exclusive Shore Event, or one of our Exclusive Amenities—but only when you book through our agency.
