    Cruising the English Channel
    • Cruising the English Channel
    Reflect and relax on a calming day at sea. Enjoy the day relaxing while we navigate the waters of the channel that separates continental Europe from the British Isles. While the British call it the "English Channel", it's more commonly known in continental Europe as "La Manche", or derivations of that. The Dutch may have the most diplomatic name for it: they simply call it "Het Kanaal", or "the Channel". Whatever the name, a quarter of the world's maritime trade navigates through this passage. Our expert Expedition Team will be happy to share their knowledge about these historic waters with you. ...
