La Dolce Vita: Italy to Malta Cruise

The Blue Voyage Trips Small Ship Cruises concept stands out by providing an intimate small ship experience aboard our luxurious motor sailers and mega yachts. For years, we have worked diligently to ensure our guests feel as though they are enjoying their valued vacation time on the private yacht of a friend. This is not just another cruise; we guarantee that all facets under our influence have been arranged to offer a safe, relaxing and delightful experience while onboard. We have blended the cruise experience with generous leisure time at each port, including overnight stays, allowing our guests to delve into the culinary offerings, rich culture and interact with local communities. Moreover, the compact nature of our vessels enables access to the very heart of each destination where larger cruise ships cannot venture. Our expertly planned itineraries, crafted over more than fifty years, highlight not only renowned destinations but also hidden gems, allowing you to immerse in local traditions as genuine travelers rather than mere tourists.

On the Blue Voyage Cruises vessels, there are no entertainment amenities designed for children, and reservations for guests under the age of five are prohibited. With this in mind, please be aware that any minors on board remain entirely the responsibility of their guardians.

The majority of shore excursions are not part of the Blue Voyage Small Ship cruise rates (kindly refer to the cruise details) and are offered based on the cruise itinerary and ports of call visited. Information will be available in your cabin and also provided daily by the onboard Cruise Coordinator. Shore excursions depend on shore and weather conditions and require a minimum number of participants.

On our intimate vessels, you will discover refined dining venues, ample sun decks, and cozy lounges. Swimming pools are not available, as our guests typically enjoy swimming directly from the ships or access pristine beaches via tender. Your cruising itinerary includes either breakfast along with lunch or dinner, or all-inclusive meals. Dining is provided at designated times with flexible seating arrangements. Limited laundry services can be procured at an additional fee on our small ships. Shore excursions may be purchased separately. The M/Y Pegasos and M/Y Variety Voyager feature a compact wellness space offering massages and various beauty therapies. For active pursuits: swimming from the ships is available, alongside snorkeling, kayaking, and canoeing. In specific locations, arrangements for diving trips can be made.

Unless a specific package is purchased, transportation to and from the vessel, excursions on land, beverages including wine and alcohol, telephone services, tips, laundry services, and personal items are not included and may be purchased during the journey or incur additional charges. A boutique is available on some vessels. All onboard expenses are in Euros, but payments in USD and by card are acceptable (American Express is not permitted).

Tipping is not included in our rates and is left to the discretion of our guests. It is suggested that satisfied guests tip between Euro 15-18 per person, each day. These gratuities are shared among all crew members. Guests have the option to modify gratuity amounts according to their satisfaction level.

On board many of our vessels, you will discover fins, masks, snorkels and kayaks available for your enjoyment during swim breaks. Additionally, a small lending library awaits alongside board games and playing cards for entertainment. Films are frequently screened in the Lounges of the boats, so make sure to refer to the Daily Program for the schedule of showings.

Every cabin features a private and tastefully designed bathroom complete with a shower. All cabins are equipped with air conditioning, central music systems, and telephones for onboard communication. Hairdryers can be found in each cabin. Furthermore, nearly all of our vessels come with TVs or flat-screen televisions, safe deposit boxes, mini-refrigerators, and DVD players inside the cabins. For further information, please explore the Our Boats section.

All efforts to accommodate specific dietary needs will be undertaken if a written request is submitted at least 4 weeks before departure.
