Cruises

Martin Randall Cruises are designed for those with a love of history, art and archaeology, presented against a backdrop of some staggeringly beautiful and varied landscapes. We sail along the Rhine, Danube, Rhône, Seine and Mekong rivers as well as the Aegean and Adriatic seas on small ships chartered exclusively for us.

These all provide first-class service and high levels of comfort, together with the absolute pleasure of mooring close to an extraordinary sequence of sites, ancient and modern. The experience is further enhanced by our expert speakers, and convivial, like-minded fellow travellers.

Cruises planned for 2026 include:

Sailing the Dalmatian Coast (April and October)

Sailing the Adriatic (April or October)

History & Art on the Danube, 6–13 July
