Imagine drifting down a river, past intriguing villages and ancient monuments; sailing through timeless, epic landscapes; exploring rugged islands, home to exotic creatures.

Imagine experiencing all of this while staying onboard the finest floating boutique hotel. Onboard a Sanctuary Retreats cruise, there is everything you need for the ultimate luxury holiday. Outside, there is a whole new world to be discovered.

Building on our heritage of luxury adventure travel, we operate three spectacular expedition cruise ships in some of the most amazing cultural and ecological sites in the world. Two of our cruises explore epic rivers - the Yangzi in China and the Nile in Egypt  - while our third boat journeys through the amazing volcanic archipelago that is the Galapagos Islands.
