About Variety Cruises

76 Years of Family-Spirited Boutique Cruising

Variety Cruises is the world's number one fleet of small ships, hosting no more than 72 guests. Designed and handcrafted from inception to sailing by a third-generation family of ship-builders with a history spanning over 76 years, every vessel is built with you in mind.

The fleet sails to Greece, the Greek islands, Italy & Malta, Tahiti & French Polynesia, the Seychelles, Cape Verde and West Africa — reaching hidden coves, tucked-away villages, and places that don't show up in mainstream cruise brochures. Like visiting a bee farm to taste honey fresh from the hive. That's their version of luxury.

With Variety Cruises you arrive as a traveler and leave as part of the family at sea. Every journey is a 7-day adventure with single-seating dining, complimentary snorkeling equipment, kayaks, swimming platforms and Wi-Fi — all included.
