Expedition Cruises
Expedition cruises take small groups to remote places such as Antarctica, the Arctic and the Galapagos Islands, with naturalist guides and landings by Zodiac. Our advisors help you choose the right ship, season and itinerary for a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Expedition ships carry far fewer guests than ocean liners, so they can reach remote shores and land everyone ashore by Zodiac.
Naturalists, historians and scientists lead landings and talks, so you understand what you are seeing.
Antarctica sails during the southern summer, roughly November to March, while the Arctic season runs through the northern summer. The best cabins go early.
Expeditions often need extra planning for flights, gear and travel protection. We help you prepare for each step.
Several expedition ships, including Silver Endeavour and Silver Origin in the Galapagos.
Seabourn Venture and Seabourn Pursuit, purpose-built expedition ships with an ultra-luxury style.
Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris, expedition ships for Antarctica and the Great Lakes.
Celebrity Flora, a small ship sailing the Galapagos Islands.
