An expedition cruise allows you to discover some of the world’s most remote destinations while offering exceptional service and comfort for once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

My favourite destination

The staggering beauty of Antarctica is difficult to put into words. The scale of the landscape is amazing and the remoteness is accentuated by its strangeness. It really does feel like another planet.

Penguins waddled past unafraid of our presence, whales surfaced in a mirror calm bay, a dreamlike sunset was perfectly reflected in the ocean and we witnessed leopard seals hunting in the shallows. The trip was extraordinary and everyday seemed to offer something even more delightful than the last.

My top cruising tip

Make the most of the expedition staff. Having experts onboard who have travelled the area and have a particular expertise gives an amazing insight and can mean a much more interesting trip.

Attending all the lectures, even those that might not initially appeal to you, means you'll learn more about the destination and gain a deeper understanding of the area you're in. Additionally, with most operators, the expedition team joins guests for lunch and dinner, giving you a chance to gain incredible insight into what it's like to work in the region you're traveling through.
