Thoughtful Cruising

At Blue Sky Escapes, we believe in a more sustainable style of travel. We carbon offset trips in partnership with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organisation dedicated to reforestation. Our partners are chosen for their dedication to sustainable cruising. Adhering to strict environmental standards (e.g. US EPA-standard engines), using sustainable amenities and funding sustainability initiatives like the Alaska Raptor Centre, discover a more thoughtful way to cruise with us.

A Personal Odyssey, at a Distance

We believe that the intimate setting of a voyage by sea allows travellers to travel in serenity, far from the crowds. Our cruise partners are handpicked to provide such experiences, meaning smaller boats and more intimate, private accommodation. Now, more than ever, a voyage by sea on smaller craft allows for social distance from crowds, without the need to utilize mass transportation hubs. Explore private beaches and secret lagoons as you sail to hidden waterways that only smaller vessels can access, or drift into some personal reflection of your own – against the rhythm of the ocean.

Behind the Velvet Rope

Take a behind-the-scenes peek at latest cruise concepts and itineraries developed by our partners. Tour the luxurious interiors of newly built ships and fire up your imagination as you exchange ideas and experiences with the captain and crew over cocktail and canapés. Contact us for priority access to first-hand information about the latest departures and benefits – long before public release.

A Blue Sky Escape

A Blue Sky Escape consists of many elements: we custom design each journey to exceed your expectations. We can include boat travel where this will enhance the experience. Sailing is more than just a boat ride; they are a classic part of the travel aesthetic. Invite us to design your very own seamless experience from start to finish. Enjoy a VIP transfer from the airport to the port, indulge in celebratory meals for special occasions or immerse yourself in bespoke land excursions tailored to your preferences. Experience the authentic, inspiring and transcendental journeys that define a Blue Sky Escape – from the safety of the ocean.
