In the annals of holiday tours and travel there are some names that carry the recognition of quality brands and evoke the spirit of romantic adventure, names like The Grand Tour, African Safari or Orient Express. In more recent years Caribbean cruises with the associated generic ‘Love Boat’ publicity have gained a certain measure of renown and substantial popularity. What we are proud to offer here for your consideration, however, is a holiday concept – the Blue Voyage - that is wonderfully unique, immensely versatile and totally enjoyable, whose name is well on the way to achieving the popular recognition of the much older prestigious holiday hallmarks mentioned above. It is also our source of pride that the Paluko name is inseparably linked with the origins of the Blue Voyage, but that’s a separate subject which you can read about when you click on the “Who” button at the left.

The Blue Voyage is a cruise aboard a privately chartered yacht, usually for one or two weeks, along the Aegean and Mediterranean shores of Turkey and possibly including some of the Greek islands lying just offshore.
Perhaps the outstanding attraction of this vacation concept is its versatility, which allows the tailoring of each cruise to accentuate the aspects preferred by the participating guests. Yet even when you have embarked on the voyage nothing is set in concrete - with the exception of the initial course to be taken - and it is still possible to change preferences along the way to suit the mood of the moment.

What does this mean in practice? Here are just a few illustrations: Would you and your company prefer to explore more sites of ancient cities or spend more time enjoying recreational activities on the sea? Is a bit of shore-based night-life to your taste? Just say the word and we’ll drop anchor in places where you can indulge. Or is the serene seclusion of an unfrequented cove your choice; or would you like to experience both at different times? Would you like to feel being part of the crew and help out setting sail, or is being coddled and cared for your choice? Do you want to be served hand-and-foot at all times, or would you also like to learn how to cook some of the wonderful local dishes your cook prepares? All of these and many more variations are yours to decide, limited only by the elements and the physical possibility of satisfying your wishes.

Many who have tried it come back again and again because, really and truly, there is nothing in the world like the Blue Voyage – enjoyable at its most aboard M/S Paluko.
