What to Look For

Small ships, big access
Expedition ships carry far fewer guests than ocean liners, so they can reach remote shores and land everyone ashore by Zodiac.
Expert guides
Naturalists, historians and scientists lead landings and talks, so you understand what you are seeing.
Timing matters
Antarctica sails during the southern summer, roughly November to March, while the Arctic season runs through the northern summer. The best cabins go early.
Plan the details
Expeditions often need extra planning for flights, gear and travel protection. We help you prepare for each step.

Cruise Lines to Consider

Silversea Cruises
Several expedition ships, including Silver Endeavour and Silver Origin in the Galapagos.
Seabourn Cruise Line
Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit, purpose-built expedition ships with an ultra-luxury style.
