Same ocean. Different ship.

Same ocean.

Different ship.

23,000 sailings.
One of them is yours.

We ask about your style, your timing and your budget first — then choose the line and the stateroom.

We don't call a cheap cabin
a luxury cruise.

We match the line and the stateroom to you

Which ship you board — and which deck, on which side, your stateroom sits — makes it an entirely different trip. So a consultation never opens with a catalogue. It opens with three questions.

Style

A quiet crossing, or a ship full of life

Who travels with you, and how you like to spend a day at sea, decides which line suits you.

Timing

When that route is at its best

Alaska, the Mediterranean and Northern Europe change both their scenery and their fares with the season.

Budget

How far the same budget can be pushed

Instead of dressing an inside cabin up as luxury, we price from a balcony stateroom and an all-inclusive fare.

The founder advises you himself

Not a call center agent. The founder, who has spent 10 years sailing these ships, handles it from first question to final booking.

We read the deck plans

Within one grade, noise, motion and the view all shift with position. We choose from the plan, cabin by cabin.

We design the whole trip

Flights before and after, plus your hours in each port of call, arranged as one continuous journey.

03

Where will you sail

You unpack once, and the ship carries you to scenes like these. We choose the season, the route, and even which side of the ship your stateroom faces.

The Mediterranean

Colored light pouring through Gaudí's stained glass, white villages and blue domes on the cliffs of Santorini. Each morning you wake in a different country's harbor.

Alaska

The ship pauses before a wall of blue ice, and a humpback lifts its tail. From a balcony stateroom, the fjords pass right outside your door.

Who are you sailing with

Family cruises

Every generation wants a different kind of day. We weigh connecting staterooms and onboard facilities together.

Honeymoon cruises

Built around a balcony stateroom and an all-inclusive fare, with time left over for just the two of you.

Cruises for parents

Little travelling, and you unpack only once. We start from the steadiest stateroom position on the ship.

Couples & groups

For friends and small parties we secure adjoining staterooms and check group fares at the same time.

How a consultation works

1
Your enquiry

Roughly when, how many of you, and a ballpark budget — that is enough to begin.

2
The conversation

By phone or messenger, the founder narrows down what this trip should be.

3
Line & stateroom proposal

Two or three candidates, compared side by side with their prices.

4
Booking & final itinerary

We book with the line directly through FORA and settle everything before and after.
