Expedition Cruising

Big Adventure, Small Ship, Epic Memories

If you're the kind of traveller who dreams of penguins instead of pool decks and glaciers over grand casinos, expedition cruising might just be your perfect getaway. It’s adventure travel with a splash of comfort—where you trade in crowded ports for jaw-dropping landscapes and swap out cabaret shows for close-up encounters with whales, polar bears, or blue-footed boobies.

Unlike traditional mega-cruises, expedition cruises are all about getting off the beaten path. These nimble little ships sail to some of the planet’s wildest places—Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos, remote parts of the Amazon, and beyond. They're built to sneak into hard-to-reach spots where the big ships can’t go, making each day feel like your own National Geographic special.

And while it’s all about exploration, don’t think you’ll be roughing it. Today’s expedition ships are surprisingly stylish, with cozy cabins, great food, and even hot tubs for post-adventure relaxing. Between hikes on glaciers, kayaking with sea lions, or hopping into Zodiacs to check out a colony of puffins, you’ll still come back to a glass of wine and a killer view.

Best part? You’re not just cruising—you’re learning. Onboard experts like marine biologists, geologists, and naturalists turn every destination into a living classroom. You’ll walk away with incredible photos and a brain full of cool facts.

Expedition cruising is perfect for curious, adventurous souls who want more than just a vacation. It's wild, it's fun, and it's absolutely unforgettable.
