Its long sandbar, one of the Philippines’ longest, is charming enough that it’d be a miss if you don’t take a photo of you there. Its water is so clear and inviting that there is no reason not to swim. Because Kalanggaman Island Leyte is not too crowded, all you can hear are the gentle winds and leaves of the palm trees touching each other. No wonder it’s dubbed as The Crown Jewel of Leyte.

SMALLER GETS YOU CLOSER

Our small ships are agile enough to visit more remote, lesser-known ports and to bring you closer to some of the world's greatest destinations.

In the world of upscale cruising, less is more... considerably more, as our seven small ships offer infinite opportunities across all seven continents.
