Boat trips recommendations

Boat trips and travel by boat are great ways to meet the locals, spot wildlife and relax as you cruise

Top 10 Boat Trips

Sail away on these classic journeys

  1. Take an Arctic expedition cruise – float around Spitsbergen, Arctic Norway, to spot walrus and polar bear. Travel in summer to voyage under the midnight sun, or book a boat that carries kayaks so you can get even closer to the action.
  2. Sail around the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador – the South American archipelago inspired Darwin's evolutionary theory, and is just as fascinating today. Get seriously close to iguanas, boobies and giant tortoises – the wildlife has no fear.
  3. Board an overflowing ferry on the Niger River – set sail into the Sahara, bound for Timbuktu, Mali: the best way to meet the locals.
  4. Explore the Westfjords, Iceland – the remote, untouched inlets of the Westfjords offer gorgeous glaciers, remote wooden churches and puffins galore. Visit in summer for 24-hour daylight.
  5. Forge across the Drake Passage, Antarctica – meet the icebergs, penguins, whales and seals of the awesome Antarctic. Pack seasickness tablets: the crossing can be choppy...
  6. Explore the Caribbean islands – discover idyllic St Vincent and the Grenadines with the locals aboard the regular mailboats, the perfect way to island-hop and pick up local gossip.
  7. Float with weird rocks and whale sharks, Djbouti – the tiny African nation is a great place to jump in with the world's biggest fish; October to February is the best time to visit.
  8. Cruise along Norway’s coast – wonderfully craggy (and Unesco-listed), Norway's west coast is famous for fabulous fjords and (maybe) a glimpse of the northern lights. The Hurtigruten ferry is a good way to get about.
  9. Float through history, Egypt – board a traditional boat for a timeless journey down the ancient River Nile: feluccas (simple sailing vessels) are good for those on a budget; dahabiyyas (wooden barges) offer more luxury.
  10. Ferry along the Aleutian Islands, Alaska – come summer, board the ferry from the mainland to the remote, wildlife-rich and culturally distinct Aleutians, making new friends along the way.
