Passion for adventure with small, personal expeditions
Travel to the remote coastal regions of our world, to Antarctica and the Subantarctic Islands to experience nature at its most pristine.
This type of travel originated three decades ago, fueled by rugged adventurers looking to share the magic of the wilderness with like-minded people. Expedition cruises bring people together with a curiosity about the world around them, a keen sense of adventure and a desire to immerse themselves in the natural environment.
On these expedition cruises, you will travel by small-scale robust vessel, guided by an expert, international expedition team - through some of the most amazing waters on Earth. In Zodiac boats you go in search of wild animals. Travel to secluded beaches, visit a penguin colony, take a guided walk across the tundra in search of the elusive Arctic fox, or discover remnants of bygone eras. The expedition team is always by your side to enrich your experience with fascinating presentations and insights in remarkable places.
An expedition cruise is never predictable. Every journey is different, guided by the ever-changing weather, tides and ice conditions. The expedition team chooses the best plan per day, striving for the ultimate experience for everyone on board. Being flexible yields incredible rewards. When you can share an impromptu wildlife display, watch a breathtaking glacier calve or have a moment of true unity with nature, you know this experience is unforgettable. Where the world can't find you...
