Immersive Travel for True Explorers
Step off the beaten path, without giving up comfort, care, or confidence. Expedition cruising pairs small ships, expert guides, and immersive landings with a concierge-led planning experience designed around your pace, preferences, and purpose.
Expedition cruising is ideal for travelers who want meaningful exploration, rare access, and expert-led discovery, without sacrificing comfort.
What is expedition cruising?
Expedition cruising is travel for the curious: fewer guests, more time in nature, and deeper cultural and wildlife encounters, often in places larger ships can’t reach. Think Antarctica and the Arctic, the Galápagos, Alaska’s inside passages, remote fjords, and biodiversity-rich coastlines.

Daily discoveries via Zodiac rides, guided hikes, kayaking, and shore visits
