EXPEDITION
EXPEDITION
While expedition cruises are also ocean voyages, we’ re putting them in their own separate category since they are truly distinct vacations. These are trips to extreme wilderness areas that no road or port can typically reach, aboard special ships that are often purpose-built for their destination. Think reinforced hulls for icy glacier-laced waters, advanced propulsion for minimal environmental impact in sensitive marine areas and an overall focus on sustainability. After all, the people on these ships are there because of their deep reverence for nature. Expedition guides include naturalists, historians, photographers, oceanographers and scientists— many of whom are some of the foremost leaders in their fields and excited to bring destinations to life with their specialized knowledge.
Itineraries are more flexible than typical ocean cruises, with quick landings or last-minute pivots to work with Mother Nature instead of against her. This means accessing places larger ships can’ t go to experience special moments or catch unique natural phenomena as they happen.
