Explore Croatia’s Krka National Park

A stone’s throw from historic Split is Krka National Park, a wonderland of waterfalls, gorges and lush forest. Hike the winding trails that zig-zag past plunging waterfalls and swimming spots, or, better yet, hop on a small boat to access hidden footpaths and secluded pools.

Get off the beaten track in Santorini

The view is instantly recognisable. Gorgeous white and blue domed houses carved into rugged hills that drop into a glittering blue sea… Santorini is iconic and then some. Check out Minoan Bronze Age relics and escape the hustle and bustle by visiting gorgeous remote beaches. Don’t miss that famous sunset, so spectacular it regularly generates applause.

Tour the Snaefellsnes Peninsula

There’s no better sample of Iceland’s incredible scenery than the 90 kilometre (56 mile) long Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Often called ‘Iceland in Miniature’ because of its incredible natural diversity, find dramatic basalt columns, gorges, waterfalls, mountains, lava fields and the ice-capped volcano that inspired Jules Verne’s classic novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

Marvel at Seville’s extravagant architecture

Calmer than Barcelona and less brooding than Granada, Seville is an alluring mix of architectural marvels, tapas bars and flamenco. Its varied history seeps from its Mudejar palaces, Baroque churches and medieval streets. The sprawling Royal Alcazar and Plaza de Espana will take your breath away. To top it off, the tapas is fantastic, and it’s (almost) always sunny in the Andalusian capital.

Outdoor adventure on the Algarve Coast

While beautiful beaches and excellent surfing are reason enough to visit Portugal’s sun-kissed south, the Algarve offers a slew of other attractions. Explore the awesome caves and grottos carved into towering cliffs just off the coast, or move beyond the beach to find rustic countryside, historic villages, castles and the gorgeous Ria Formosa Natural Park.

Get lost in Tangier’s Kasbah

Gateway to Africa and a former haunt of artists, spies and international eccentrics, Tangier has been going through a renaissance of sorts thanks to its newest monarch. The bohemian cafes and winding streets of the Kasbah that attracted writers like Jack Kerouac remain, but Tangier now boasts a cleaned-up beach promenade and better food options than ever.

Small ships, small groups

With fewer than 50 passengers on every adventure cruise, our groups are the perfect size for mingling at happy hour and really getting to know your fellow travellers. Smaller groups mean more personalised service, like one-on-one chats with your leader about history, culture and food, or your favourite ice-cold beer handed to you by the bar manager at the end of a day of exploring.

Specialised service

We’re right there with you to ensure your adventure is memorable for all the right reasons. Our expert local leaders facilitate incredible land experiences, while the ship’s friendly crew make sure you have everything you need – from a room that’s sparkling clean to a glass of sparkling wine – to enjoy your time on board.

Dining with a local twist

Whether it’s a barbecue on a deserted beach, the catch-of-the day cooked up by your onboard chef or the gourmet breakfast that’s served each morning, our culinary experiences are designed to complement your journey and help you create memories you’ll savour forever – on and off the boat.

Cruise the seas less travelled

Our small ships give you access to those out-of-the way spots the big ships can’t reach. We’ll show you the guidebook favourites from a new perspective, then cruise away from the crowds so you can stroll through seaside villages, swim in hidden coves and get a real insight into local living.

A floating boutique hotel

Our ships combine all the comforts and personality of a boutique hotel with the freedom of the open water. Relax in your well-appointed cabin and wake to a different outlook each morning. Enjoy panoramic views from the sun deck, spend time in comfortable lounges and spacious dining rooms, or dine al fresco underneath a sea of stars.

We’ve been officially certified as the world’s largest travel B Corp, which means when you choose Intrepid Travel, you can rest assured you’re travelling to improve the planet.
