What Makes Expedition Different?
Expedition cruises are fundamentally different from traditional cruising. Small ships (under 500 passengers) can access remote areas that large ships cannot reach.
Expert naturalists, scientists, and historians lead daily excursions. Zodiac boats take you ashore to walk among penguins, kayak past glaciers, or explore ancient ruins.
It's about the destination, not the ship. While vessels are comfortable, the focus is on getting you as close as possible to some of the world's most remarkable places.
