What Our Clients Say
Roger & Billie Woods ,USA
Loved every minute of our cruise – the Archipel I turned out to be an inspired choice for us, in particular the itinerary which could not have been better. Many thanks to our guide and crew for making the cruise so memorable.
Juliet Howell, UK
You were so right to recommend the Archipel yacht to us - not only was the price excellent compared to similar catamaran cruises but also the service and vistis that were included were top rate.
Elizabeth Carrell
Everything about the ARCHIPEL was great. The staff, the food, the guide (wonderful). It was a trip of a lifetime. Thanks for your recommendation.
