Mundy Launch "A Touch of the Unorthodox"

See the world from a new perspective with Mundy Cruising

Luxury operator Mundy Cruising, always committed to identifying and offering new experiences to the marketplace, has introduced an exciting, new brochure of appeal to those looking for a more unconventional, non-conformist holiday, "A Touch of the Unorthodox”.

This 36-page brochure features a collection of stunning holiday experiences offering a real opportunity for extra-ordinary exploration – whether for the active, or more relaxed traveller. Emphasis has been placed by Mundy on offering ‘off-the-beaten-track’ destinations around the world, where travelling by water allows the combination of adventure, education and ‘up-close’ discovery with refined comfort and service – the ship offering a sanctuary which is hard to better with the equivalent land based accommodation. 

Says Edwina Lonsdale, Managing Director of Mundy Cruising’ “Each ‘Unorthodox’ experience has been selected and approved by us. Working with our seven cruise line partners, we have chosen a range of diverse locations around the globe, from the icy waters of the Antarctic and the astonishing ecosystems of Costa Rica, to the spectacular waterfalls and vivid red rocks of Australia’s Kimberley region. We have showcased some of the world’s most spectacular destinations, with not only breath-taking views, but also unique ecosystems and the flora, fauna, bird and marine life that thrives within them.”

The ships are able to access remote locations and whether a river, or ocean vessel, they treat the environments with courteous respect; lecturers on board and expedition leaders are selected with care for their expert knowledge of the area.
