Cruising is a wonderful way to experience the transformative power of travel in an easy and comfortable way. From serene voyages to thrilling expeditions, there’s a cruise for every soul seeking new horizons. Here are a few cruising options for your next great adventure!
Ocean Cruises
Set sail on the open seas and stop in ports all over the world! Ocean cruises offer great value and a plethora of options in terms of destination, ship size, length of voyage, and budget preferences. Experience the elegant ships, onboard amenities, entertainment, cuisine, opportunities to learn and enrich your experience, and warm hospitality. Shore excursions are generally not included, but you may choose and book what you like. Whether you want to explore the beauty of Antarctica, Argentina and Chile; escape the Canadian winters to sunny Hawaii; or visit destinations closer to home, such as on our Vancouver to San Diego Cruise and Las Vegas tour or Boston to Québec City Cruise, you’re sure to find the perfect cruising adventure for you.
River Cruises
Savour the beautiful views of scenic shorelines as you gracefully glide through the calm waters of storied rivers close to home and around the globe. Designed to navigate shallower waterways, slip through locks, and pass under bridges, river boats offer a unique and intimate cruising experience due to their smaller size and capacity, sometimes accommodating fewer than 100 people. Depending on the company, excursions are often included in the tour fare, and the accommodations, service, and cuisine are top notch. Whether you enjoy the beauty of the lakes, rivers, and locks of Canada’s historic Rideau Canal, a UNESCO world Heritage Site, or discover the natural wonders, structures, and cultures as you cruise along mighty Mekong River in Cambodia and Vietnam, you’re sure to delight in the experience.
Luxury Yachts
Revel in the luxurious accommodation and superb service as you explore unique destinations. Luxury yachts, such as those with Emerald Cruises, offer exceptional service and inclusions so you have complete peace of mind as you travel. The ships are designed to navigate into smaller ports and harbours that larger cruise ships cannot reach so you have a more in-depth experience. Sit back and enjoy being pampered as you explore the tropical paradise of the Caribbean Sea aboard the Emerald Sakara on our Caribbean Cruise on a Luxury Yacht tour. Roland and Anne Neave, owners of Wells Gray Tours, travelled on the Emerald Sakara in the Caribbean in January 2024 and loved it! Click here to watch and learn more as Kerrie Niemeier, Director of Marketing and Sales for Wells Gray Tours, and special guest Roland Neave talk about the luxurious service, amenities, and unique innovations such as the spectacular Marina Platform and state-of-the-art infrared sauna that you can experience while sailing on this superb yacht.
