What makes Aqua Expeditions’ small ships the ultimate setting for crewed private charter voyages?
All-inclusive programs
Our cruise itineraries range from three to fourteen nights, including world-class dining experiences by renowned chefs, twice daily off-board excursions, use of top-of-the-line sports equipment, laundry service (for selected ships), group transfers, and all the comforts to ensure a carefree planning process and relaxing trip.
Ample personal and social spaces
Aqua Expeditions’ vessels offer several interconnecting suites that enable one suite to expand into a larger communal living space for your family. A diverse array of social areas, from spacious lounges to spa facilities, exercise rooms and infinity pools, are perfectly suited for both gatherings and space to spend some time alone, disconnected from the world.
Tailor-made experiences
Aqua Expeditions’ ability to offer a bespoke luxury vacation experience is what truly sets us apart. Enabled by our small size and exclusive one-to-one level of personalized service, Aqua’s expert team will be on hand to customize every aspect of your yacht charter; from adapting menus to fit individual dietary requirements to prioritizing the activities your group enjoys the most.
Small group excursions
Our itineraries offer a variety of engaging activities ranging from biking, kayaking, trekking and snorkeling excursions to on-board cooking classes, guide lectures, and movie nights.
