• Cruising: Tours range from adventure cruises to land and sea packages, private yacht and small ship tours to traditional river cruising. Ideal for travellers who enjoy cruising and value the insights of a Tour Manager. These tours are often paired with Collette’s other travel styles, earning the Cruising tag with 3+ nights on a ship.
