SMOOTH SAILING AHEAD

If, for you, the journey is as much a part of your holiday as the destination itself, we hope you will be delighted to see our new programme of water-based tours. On these tours, you really will be following in the wake of the ancient colonists, traders and warriors who embarked on voyages much less certain than ours and who must have felt the same excited anticipation at each landfall. Using these ancient waterways is a relaxing and unique way to explore a destination and you will find in the pages of this brochure, some of the best ways to float along them.

Andante’s cruises are far from the typical. Travelling aboard smaller ships, you will sail right into port in places that the bigger vessels simply cannot reach. Our water-based tours have been designed to maximise your archaeological encounters, offering opportunities to visit sites in remote places that are more challenging to reacheven on a land tour. Couple this with comfortable cabins and the more personalised attention you receive from the crew aboard a small ship and you have, perhaps, the ultimate archaeological tour experience. Oh, and then there’s the added bonus of the stunning scenery and element of relaxation that comes with a cruise!

Among our expanding cruise programme for 2024 is a brand new itinerary that explores the sites that line the Seine in France, but you will also find returning favourites such as our Nile cruise and our Ancient Dalmatia tour. So, whichever part of the ancient world you wish to explore next, why not make it a cruise?

Best wishes,

Jackie Willis CEO
