Expedition cruising offers an entirely different perspective on sea travel, catering to the adventurous spirit with an emphasis on exploration and education. Journeying to remote destinations such as the polar regions, the Amazon, or the Galapagos Islands, passengers get the opportunity to experience sights seen by very few before them.
Smaller, technically advanced ships can navigate narrow channels and reach off-the-beaten-path ports, while, onboard, guests are treated to expert-led lectures and workshops highlighting the exact locations visited. With our expedition partners, luxury is not sacrificed.
