A LUXURY UK holiday company offering trips to Europe and Asia has closed down.
Salamander Voyages – which is based in Belfast – has gone into administration.
The company used to sell private boat holidays in Turkey, Greece, Italy and Croatia.
According to The Gazette, administrators were appointed on April 22.
On its website, Salamader Voyages states: “After 23 years of wonderful sailing in the Aegean Sea, we are very sad to announce Salamander Voyages has taken the difficult decision to close its doors.
“Please note that on 22 April 2026 Scott Murray and Ian Davison of Keenan Corporate Finance Ltd were appointed as Joint Administrators of the Company.

The luxury holidays didn’t come cheap though, with sailings costing from £3,000 per person.
Upcoming trips included a sailing of the Turkish Gulf between June 15 and 22, heading to “small villages, pristine secluded bays and less-known historical sites”.
And between October 5 and 17 there was another Turkish sailing in the western half of the Gulf.
Claudia Winkleman has even previously been a guest onboard, commenting: “The holiday was absolutely amazing. The boat is beautiful and the crew were outstanding.
“The most relaxing week of our lives. We love you Salamander.”
