What Kind of Holidays Do Travelmarvel Offer?
In short: beautifully curated adventures across the globe. Rivers, oceans, wild savannahs, mystic mountaintops; Travelmarvel offer journeys that move you in more than just location.
River Cruises
Travel the world at a relaxed pace as you watch life unfold along the riverbanks of the world's most iconic waterways.
See sunrise mist curl over the Danube, Rhine and Douro as Travelmarvel’s Polaris, Capella, Vega, Rigel, and MS Estrela glide past storybook towns and rolling vineyards. Named after the most luminous stars in European skies, every inch of these contemporary vessels has been custom-designed for your enjoyment.
But Travelmarvel’s state-of-the-art ships go further than Europe's popular rivers. Onboard RV Lotus, the Mekong hums with spice, silk and floating markets in Vietnam and Cambodia. In Africa, Chobe Princess drifts beside elephants and hippos, while China’s Century Paragon carries you through the ancient majesty of the Yangtze.
Touring Holidays
Travelmarvel’s small group and escorted tours sprinkle adventure with heart, whisking you off the beaten track with a smile. Whether you’re bonding with fellow explorers in an intimate group of no more than 24 or following an expert Tour Director with local know-how, every day feels like a story waiting to be told.
With immersive experiences, premium accommodation, and insider access that turns sightseeing into soul-searching, Travelmarvel lets you uncover iconic and hidden gems across the globe, from the wild mountains of the Canadian Rockies and chaotic beauty of India to the timeless charms of Europe. Think tuk-tuk rides in Sri Lanka, meeting local Peruvian guides atop Machu Picchu, or safari drives among Africa’s iconic wildlife. This is travel made personal, peaceful, and utterly unforgettable.
Yacht & Ocean Cruises
Awaken to salt-kissed winds as Travelmarvel’s Ocean and Yacht Cruises carry you where horizons blush with promise.
Glide the Adriatic aboard the intimate MV Princess Eleganza, where you can discover the historic walled city of Dubrovnik, cascading waterfalls in Krka National Park and Croatia’s quaint cobblestone coastal villages. These small yacht cruises are designed to bring you closer to Croatia’s picture-perfect islands.
Or climb aboard Holland America Line with Travelmarvel and hear the echo of glaciers calving into turquoise in the Chilean Fjords, and feel Alaska’s breath on your cheeks amidst ice-sculpted fjords and whale song. Onboard, elegant cabins, delicious cuisine and gentle laughter fuse into days of discovery and starlit nights.
