Audley Travel has expanded its cruise portfolio in collaboration with luxury liner, Seabourn, which celebrate the best of land, sea and rail experiences.
The hybrid trips are designed to maximise destination exploration by pairing Audley's bespoke land arrangements with Seabourn's cruise offerings, allowing travellers to experience both coastal and inland highlights in a single journey.
The expansion reflects growing demand for multi-modal luxury travel experiences that combine different transportation methods and accommodation styles within single itineraries.
The Southeast Asia itinerary represents the most extensive offering, spanning 24 days and combining a 14-night luxury cruise with rail travel through Malaysia aboard the Belmond Eastern & Oriental Express.
The voyage sails between Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Singapore, with excursions including Halong Bay exploration and visits to Vietnam's Cu Chi tunnels. Prices start from £15,310 per person based on two travellers.
The 15-day Alaska and Canada programme combines an eight-night cruise through coastal Alaska with land experiences including helicopter trips to Mendenhall Glacier and dog sledding. Post-cruise, guests stay at Farewell Harbour Lodge on Berry Island in the Great Bear Rainforest. This itinerary is priced from £12,765 per person.
The Croatian offering covers 14 days, beginning with Zagreb and Plitvice Lakes National Park before a six-night Dalmatian Coast cruise visiting Split, Vis and Zadar.
The trip includes UNESCO site visits in Šibenik and Dubrovnik, priced from £9,435 per person.
"The new cruise collection is a welcome addition to the Audley portfolio - further enhancing the opportunity for our clients to push the time they have to explore a destination to the max, encompassing both land and sea-elements in their bespoke trip. Our specialists are excited to offer Seabourn’s luxury service as part of the mix to these exciting destinations," says Sean Atton, global cruise manager at Audley Travel.
All cruise segments operate on an all-inclusive basis including gratuities, with land portions featuring private guides and specialist experiences.
