Paradigm Travel Agency Cruises
Unpack once and settle in. Let the journey unfold—where the vessel itself becomes part of the destination.
Cruises, Curated for the Well-Traveled
Cruising, when done thoughtfully, is one of the most immersive ways to experience the world. From historic rivers and remote waterways to polar regions and far-flung coastlines, we curate cruise experiences for travelers who value depth, access, and a sense of place.
At Paradigm Travel Agency, we specialize in river and expedition cruising designed for travelers who have already seen much of the world and are ready to experience it in a more meaningful way.
River Cruises
River Cruising, Reimagined
River cruising is intimate, immersive, and effortlessly elegant. You unpack once and move seamlessly through landscapes, cultures, and history—often docking in the heart of places larger ships can’t reach.
While Europe’s iconic rivers remain beloved classics, today’s river cruising extends far beyond the Danube and Rhône. We design river journeys across the globe, each offering its own rhythm, scenery, and cultural depth.
Europe’s Classic Rivers
The Danube, Rhine, Rhône, Seine, Douro, and beyond—ideal for travelers who appreciate art, architecture, wine, and history woven together at an unhurried pace.
Asia’s Great Rivers
Sail the Mekong through Vietnam and Cambodia, where daily life unfolds along the riverbanks and cultural encounters feel deeply personal. These journeys offer a powerful blend of history, scenery, and human connection.
South America & the Amazon
Explore the Amazon River and its tributaries aboard purpose-built vessels designed for comfort in remote environments. These expeditions combine wildlife, conservation, and access to regions few travelers ever experience.
Egypt & the Nile
A timeless journey through ancient history, cruising the Nile offers unmatched access to temples, monuments, and archaeological sites—guided by expert Egyptologists and enriched by the ease of river travel.

Ocean & Expedition Cruises
Beyond the Expected
Expedition cruising is a more physically active and adventurous style of cruising, designed for travelers seeking off-the-grid, immersive exploration in extreme environments like the Arctic and Antarctica. It is well suited for travelers who have already crossed iconic journeys off their list and are ready for what comes next.
Antarctica — And What Follows
For many travelers, Antarctica is a defining experience. Increasingly, the next aspiration is the Arctic Circle—sailing through Norway, Greenland, Iceland, and the High Arctic, where dramatic landscapes, wildlife, and cultural encounters redefine exploration.
The Arctic
Arctic cruising offers a quieter, more contemplative form of exploration: fjords carved by ice, remote communities, polar wildlife, and endless summer light. It’s an ideal next chapter for travelers drawn to Antarctica and eager for a different kind of polar experience.
Australia’s Kimberley Coast
Remote, rugged, and spectacular, the Kimberley region is best explored by expedition vessel—revealing ancient rock art, powerful tides, waterfalls, and a sense of true wilderness.
Galápagos
The Galápagos Islands are unlike anywhere else on Earth.
A well-designed Galápagos expedition cruise offers rare access, expert naturalist guides, and intimate encounters with wildlife that simply aren’t possible independently. Traveling by small expedition vessel allows you to explore multiple islands while minimizing impact, maximizing time ashore, and experiencing the archipelago as it was meant to be seen.
World & Grand Voyages
For travelers who prefer extended time at sea with thoughtfully curated ports and enrichment, world cruises and long-haul itineraries offer a rare blend of comfort, continuity, and discovery.
What an excellent way to tackle your bucket-list destinations in one fantastic journey?
These journeys are about where few go — and how to experience it when you do.
