Expedition cruises

There is nothing as thrilling as expedition cruising, navigating the waters in the world's farthest corners for some of the most authentic and intimate experiences few people have access to.

It's about getting out in the wild to explore and discover nature at its rawest with a team of knowledgeble crew and experts. Every day is a new adventure - whether it's a Zodiac ride that takes you close to the penguins in Antarctica or swimming with sea turtles in the Galapagos Islands.

Gone are the days of bunk bed and basic meals where ice breakers and special vessels built for research purposes are oftentimes chartered for adventure voyages. Today's expeditionary cruiser travel in style on board custom-built boats and yachts that promise nothing short of luxury and comfort, with suite-style accommodation, high-tech amenities, private butler, Michelin-inspired restaurants and full-service spa.
