UK General Sales Agent for Variety Cruises
A fleet of 11 stylish mega yachts and motor sailers, carrying 34 to 140 guests — informal, friendly, and built to reach the ports large cruise ships cannot.
The Mega Yacht Difference
Mega yacht cruising is for travellers who want the destination rather than the ship to be the main event. No cabarets, no casinos, no shopping malls — instead a relaxed vessel, good food, like-minded company and far more time ashore.
These yachts tie up right on the waterfront rather than anchoring offshore and tendering guests in. And when the captain finds a beautiful cove, the aft swimming platform makes a pool unnecessary.
Seafarer is the official UK General Sales Agent for Variety Cruises, so every booking, package and question is handled by our London team.

What to Expect
Eleven unique and stylish mega yachts offering a winning formula of informal atmosphere, great cuisine and superb island-hopping itineraries — reaching ports and marinas beyond the reach of large cruise ships.
Guests love being on a vessel that gets them close to the places they visit. Not cabarets, casinos or shopping malls — but fascinating places in like-minded company, with much more time ashore to explore.
These yachts tie up right on the waterfront rather than anchoring offshore. And who needs a swimming pool when the captain can anchor in a beautiful cove and you dive in from the aft platform?

The Fleet
Eleven vessels, each with its own character — browse the fleet below, or read on for the difference between the two types.
The Short Answer
Our smallest ship carries just 34 passengers. The largest carries 140. Most average around 40 — small enough to get into places large ships simply cannot reach.
They combine the comfort and service you would expect of a cruise ship with the ambience and friendliness of a private yacht, which is why we prefer to call them mega yachts. Sustainability is a core value in how and where we sail.

Good to Know
A mega yacht cruise is a voyage aboard a small, stylish vessel carrying a limited number of guests rather than several thousand. The atmosphere is informal and friendly, with no casinos, cabarets or shopping malls on board. Instead the emphasis is on the destination, with more time ashore and the ability to tie up on the waterfront rather than anchor offshore.
The fleet comprises 11 unique mega yachts and motor sailers, each offering an informal atmosphere, good cuisine and island-hopping itineraries that reach ports and marinas beyond the reach of large cruise ships.
Our smallest vessel carries just 34 passengers and the largest carries 140, with most averaging around 40. That scale allows them to combine the comfort and service of a cruise ship with the ambience and friendliness of a private yacht.
As the official UK General Sales Agent, Seafarer represents Variety Cruises in the United Kingdom. Bookings, tailor-made packages and customer support are handled by our London-based team, and flight-inclusive holidays we operate are ATOL protected under licence 9511.
Mega yacht itineraries cover the Greek islands and the wider Mediterranean, along with the Seychelles, the rivers and coast of West Africa, Cape Verde, and French Polynesia and the Society Islands. Each itinerary page lists the ports of call and departure dates.
Inclusions vary by vessel and itinerary, and typically cover your cabin, meals on board and the cruise programme itself. Shore excursions, drinks packages, flights and transfers may be included or added separately, so please check the individual cruise page or speak to our team.
Yes. The yachts are available for private charter, which suits families, groups of friends, special celebrations and corporate groups who want the vessel and the itinerary to themselves.
