Small Ship Cruising with Botanica
A small ship cruise is a wonderful way to explore enchanting destinations without the need for repacking your suitcase and checking into multiple hotels. After discovering the many gardens and cultural sights of each destination, you’re able to relax with fellow guests, absorbing striking shorelines from aboard a comfortable ship.
In 2026, Botanica will depart on three distinct and privately chartered small ship cruises across the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic, and the Sea of Japan. These will take place aboard the MS Caledonian Sky, MS Hebridean Sky, and the MS Island Sky respectively. We have chartered these ‘Sky’ ships many times. Taking no more than 100 guests, they are the perfect size to act as our ‘floating hotel’, while also having the charm of a country club. And their spacious cabins have a home away from home feel.
