Our insight

Once-in-a-lifetime experiences...

We all have that list of 'must-see' destinations that we dream of visiting at least once during our lifetime, whether it's a pristine wildlife habitat like the Galapagos or a man-made wonder such as the great pyramids of Egypt.

Bucket list experiences are the essence of expedition cruising, as your ship takes you into remote wilderness areas with little or no tourist infrastructure. The unforgettable moments will come thick and fast, whether it's the sight of vast penguin colonies on South Georgia, a polar bear out hunting on the coasts of Svalbard, or the sun rising over the sprawling temples of Angkor.

You can also combine your expedition cruise with an overland extension for the ultimate adventure holiday, whether you want to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, get close to big cats on an African safari, or take an epic trip on the Trans-Siberian railway.
