A luxury ocean cruise ship at sea under a wide sky

Ocean & Small-Ship

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.
