Expedition Cruises
Expedition cruising lets you venture where few ever tread – in the footsteps of explorers to Antarctica’s icy grandeur, into Svalbard’s endless daylight where polar bears roam, and to the volcanic shores of the Galápagos, teeming with ancient creatures found nowhere else on Earth. Feel the air hum with wonder as you sail through glittering pack ice toward the North Pole, trace Norway’s fjord-carved coast, or dive into the marine paradise of the Coral Triangle. Offering expert knowledge and a personal touch, your Travel Counsellor makes the impossible possible, transporting you to remote frontiers in a way that’s personalised to you.
