Expedition Cruises

Have you ever thought of an Expedition Cruise? There is no better way to visit the world's more remote destinations that by joining one of the many cruise companies with whom we work, and heading off to visit some of the extraordinary communities who thrive in their unusual and often inhospitable locations.

These versatile vessels allow groups to safely and comfortably visit a number of islands and coastal locations that would be otherwise too difficult to reach. From the remote and mysterious Spitsbergen archipelago to the fascinating continent of Antarctica, our knowledgeable staff will ensure that you pick the perfect ship.

The northern world is well suited to these ships and the variety of destinations and styles of cruising need some discussion! From older vessels originally built for oceanographic survey and study work, now transformed into comfortable if a little basic ships for tourists, to the majestic purpose-built ships that offer a high degree of comfort even when sailing through these distant and rugged regions, we know them all! And we look forward to finding the right expedition cruise to suite your interests and budget.

These ships have made tourism to places like Spitsbergen and East Greenland possible; previously inaccessible to all but the most adventurous, anyone can now marvel at the splendour of the scenery and wildlife, including the majestic Polar Bear, from the comfort of a small ship. Experience the stark scenery of the north, watch glaciers calving and listen in the still arctic evenings to the calling of the bird and animal life unique to the region.

Additionally, the expedition vessels spend the northern hemisphere's winter in the deep south, as they carry passengers to the Antarctic Peninsula and the islands of the South Atlantic from their bases in Argentina.   

And expedition cruises don't only head to cold places! These ships can also offer trips incorporating the Atlantic islands of Tristan da Cunha and St. Helena, the Micronesian islands of Phonpei and Kosrae, Melanesia and many more exotic ports of call.

If this style of travel appeals, call us today, and we will set your trip in motion by finding the ship whose itinerary and style fit your vacation dreams.
