New 16 day voyage to...
St. Petersburg,
Departing May 11th, 2012
I have to say that as one of the world’s biggest sceptics, I wasn’t expecting too much from this Maritime Memories Voyage, but it really was something very special and both my wife and I enjoyed every precious minute aboard.

Dear Maritime Memories Friend,
I can’t help but think about how we only ever intended doing just one special Maritime Memories Voyage, just so we had the chance to experience sailing again as we used to during the Golden Age of Shipping. Well, there are those who would argue that today is the Golden Age, as we have much bigger and more luxurious ships to sail on, which maybe is true to some extent but in truth, there’s no real comparison, as all of us who were fortunate enough to have gone to sea years ago as either crew or as passengers will testify. Those huge modern floating blocks of flats just don’t compare to the ships that we once knew; real ships that had wide-open, teak-lined decks where you really felt you were at sea, and so far removed from the modern cruise ships that often have only one open deck plonked right on the top of the thing – some fourteen or more decks above the sea. Quite honestly, you might just as well be sitting on the top of a high-rise building!
Plans for future Voyages
We really try our best to listen to what all our Snowbow/Maritime Memory people say when it comes to arranging these special Maritime Memory Voyages, But as you know, we live in an age when no-one really listens anymore, so for us to get the voyages you would really like is quite a struggle, but I’m pleased to say that Maritime Memories has created such a stir around the world that we can now do a great deal to make your wishes come true.

There are a lot of ships out there. But there’s only one Discovery.
The key to a cruise on Discovery is simplicity itself - see more, do more. So, you’ll discover some of the great cities and monuments from the ancient and modern worlds. And along the way, you’ll also share the stories and insights not everyone gets to see. Our renowned guest speakers unlock the secrets, whilst Discovery is the perfect way to get to any destination.
It will be a voyage you won’t forget.
