Sanctuary Retreats says
A luxury cruise doesn’t have to be on a huge cruise liner. For a magical honeymoon afloat, explore some of the world’s most interesting regions on board our boutique-style expedition cruise ships.
We’re all about intimate cruises, luxury furnishings, expert on-board guides and an itinerary where you wake up each day in a new location – the perfect formula for a memorable honeymoon.
If you are fascinated by wildlife, you can’t beat a cruise in the Galapagos Islands on board the MC Athala. Relaunching in October 2011 following an extensive refit, this intimate motor catamaran has just eight double cabins. Each is spacious and comfortable; some have a balcony too.
There are two shore excursions each day plus a choice of activities such as sea-kayaking and snorkelling.
The larger MV Eclipse, only accepts 48 guests in 27 spacious cabins, each with a king-size bed and outside view. Similar-size ships take up to 100 guests so you are assured of plenty of space.
Our naturalist guides are on board every cruise if you want to find out more about the incredible wildlife which you will encounter.
On the romantic Nile River, the elegant Sanctuary MS Nile Adventurer has just 32 spacious en suite cabins and a glorious sundeck. The three or four-night itineraries include visits to Egypt’s most jaw-dropping ancient sites.
For couples looking to honeymoon somewhere a little different, a river cruise in China is definitely one to consider. For a unique glimpse of China’s Three Gorges on the Yangtze River, join the Sanctuary MS Yangzi Explorer. With only 124 passengers on board, you will have plenty of time to soak up the views (and pamper yourselves in the on-board spa) as well as experience China’s fascinating culture.
