EXPEDITION CRUISING
Our range of Expedition cruises allows you to discover spectacular sights and once in a lifetime experiences from the comfort and vantage point of your ship.
When to go
There is always an expedition cruise to be found at any time of the year. The Galapagos Islands can be enjoyed at any time of the year with warmer weather from December to May and the cooler, dryer season from June to November. The Arctic is best visited from June to September whilst cruises to the Antarctic tend to take place from December to March.
Where to go
Expedition cruising will take you to parts of the planet like no other, where few travellers have managed to visit and where unique wildlife and spectacular scenery can be found in abundance.
The Galapagos Islands are a treasure trove of natural wonders. The fearless wildlife is the main attraction and you can experience a proximity to animals here that you will find virtually nowhere else. Take a dip in the ocean and you might be joined by a sea-lion or find yourself swimming alongside penguins. Walk along the shore and you might come across an ancient giant tortoise or stroll amongst blue footed boobies.
Antarctica has long tempted explorers and is the last great basin of wilderness left on Earth. These days you can discover the majesty of Antarctica's ice and snow covered mountains and iceberg laced waters in comfort. The wildlife is outstanding with penguins frolicking along the shore and in the waters, whilst whales move silently past huge seal colonies.
A cruise to the High Arctic allows you to take advantage of long daylight hours whilst enjoying spectacular scenery including dramatic fjords and gigantic glaciers. With the opportunity to see Polar bears in their natural habitat, Beluga whales up close from a zodiac and other rare and interesting wildlife you are sure to enjoy the trip of a lifetime.
