Ocean Cruising.
Talk about wanderlust. In 1768, an English mariner, astronomer, and explorer sailed the Pacific to find out what was there. His answer? Australia. New Zealand. And a scattering of islands the likes of which the world had never seen. Who was this intrepid sailor? Captain James Cook, of course.
Jump ahead a century or so, and we meet all manner of people whose time on the world’s oceans enhanced their lives. Charles Darwin. Paul Gaugin. Herman Melville.
And let’s not forget Ernest Shackleton (and intrepid crew), whose travels in Antarctica changed forever our understanding of how things work at the bottom of the Earth.
R. Crusoe & Son offers the modern-day explorers equally compelling time on both oceans and seas.
One of the most important aspects of modern cruising is the vessel on which you travel. R. Crusoe’s approach? We absolutely forego the mega-ship approach to cruising in which you are surrounded by 5,000 or so of your closest friends. Not our thing, really.
Instead, we’ve hand-selected extraordinary, luxury vessels—windjammers, yachts, and small ships—built specifically for the waters in which they cruise. All our ships have the latest seafaring technology and meet the strictest safest requirements for their classes. They all carry seasoned crews that attend to your every need, your slightest whim.

The ships’ size allows them to enter smaller ports and out-of-the-way anchorages, which means you access incredible destinations without thousands of other passengers.
Accompanying us are expert lecturers and expedition guides who provide context and deeper meaning to all that we see and do. Think marine biologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, historians…
Join us for unusual journeys around the Mediterranean, the Aegean, the West African coast, the Baltics, the Black Sea, the Adriatic and the Dalmatian Coast, the Caribbean, the Russian Far Eat, Japan’s Inland Sea, Borneo, Papua New Guinea, the Galápagos, Antarctica, and Alaska. If you have another destination in mind, do tell. We’d love to chat.
Meander through this website, and decide which cruises most interest you. And remember that R. Crusoe & Son is expert at creating pre- and post-cruise tours customized just for you.
Please note: On these journeys, R. Crusoe & Son travelers share the ships with other, international non-Crusoe travelers. This does not apply if you are chartering a vessel.
