Whether it's the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the glaciers of Alaska, or the fjords of Northern Europe, the open ocean still holds a particular romance. A new era of ocean travel has arrived: refined, spacious ships designed for cultural immersion and genuine discovery, inside and out.
Today's finest ocean ships pair fine dining, ocean-front suites, and thoughtful design with itineraries built around the destination rather than the sea. We help you choose between the grand resort-at-sea experience and the intimacy of small-ship and luxury lines, and we match you to the region, the season, and the ship that fit how you like to travel.
For over a hundred years, Chima Travel has built relationships with the world's leading cruise lines. That means the right cabin, the right itinerary, and a real person to call, from the first phone call to the flight home.
The case for ocean & small-ship

From intimate luxury yachts to refined modern liners, we match the vessel to the experience you want, rather than squeezing you onto whatever sails.

Longer stays and overnights in port mean the destinations are the point, with real time to explore rather than a rushed afternoon ashore.

Wake to a new city or coastline each morning while your cabin travels with you, covering a whole region in a single, unhurried trip.

Higher space-per-guest ships and a level of service that turns the journey itself into the holiday, not just the way to get there.
