Crossings
In addition to the regular Small Ship Cruises RUNNING ON WAVES operates so-called crossings. The word normally refers to a technical repositioning of a vessel from one port to another, which usually does not imply calls on the way. We, however, have developed a different concept. Our crossings are as interesting as our regular cruises and even more, in a way, as sometimes on such crossings we visit places, which are left out on full-scale cruises, even by boutique ships like RUNNING ON WAVES. Worth mentioning, crossings are usually shorter than a week, a good choice for those unable to fit a longer sailing into their tight schedule. Besides, crossing itineraries come up on the calendar 1 – 2 months before departure, hence 50% discount on daily rates. Follow us and catch this rare opportunity to make a sailing voyage in royal comfort at a fraction of price.
Special Interest
RUNNING ON WAVES presents you with a unique opportunity to have a thematic cruise in the company of like-minders sharing common interests. On our boat we organize scheduled voyages for people involved in various creative activities, such as marine photography, or united by the same passion, for example pilgrimage to sacred places of Greece and Italy.
Thematic cruises can be arranged upon request, too, be it about golf, yoga, painting, music or gastronomy…
