Travel Beyond the Ordinary

Luxury Small-Ship Cruises


Smithsonian Journeys themed LUXURY CRUISES aboard Corinthian II, Callisto and Yorktown provide the ideal small-ship experience. Each voyage features a custom-crafted itinerary covering special topics such as art and architecture, history, music, faith and culture, and more. In addition to our unique themed itineraries, our small ships offer access to places most ships can’t visit as well as travel with top experts.

Corinthian II, Callisto and Yorktown – which are more like private yachts than cruise ships – attract discerning travelers due to top amenities, gracious service, and informal elegance. Click here for a full description and photographs of the all-suite 114-guest Corinthian II, here for the 34-guest Callisto and here for the 138-guest Yorktown.
