Condé Nast Traveler describes different charter options, from small European river barges to luxury ocean yachts and expedition ships. By booking a whole ship with companies like European Waterways, Aqua Expeditions, Silversea, and Rainforest Cruises, small groups can plan their own trips, follow strict health and safety rules, and enjoy private luxury experiences in places like Europe, Southeast Asia, the Galápagos, and the Amazon.
“Rainforest Cruises represents some 70 ships, from two- to four-cabin riverboats and catamarans to 75-stateroom biggies. The majority of their ships run between eight to 24 cabins. This company covers lots of territory, from the Amazon and Galapagos to Southeast Asia, across a range of price points. Start with the 14-passenger Nemo II catamaran sailing the Galapagos Islands; eight-day charters begin at $38,640.”
