Expedition Cruise Holidays
On an expedition cruise the emphasis is placed on the experience ashore, the many and varied excursions and the unique ports of call – many of which are further off-the-beaten-track than most mainstream cruises.
Rather than relaxing by the pool with a cocktail, the primary focus of expedition cruising is contact with your natural surroundings, visiting remote and isolated sites often only accessible by zodiacs.
Explore Patagonia’s majestic glaciers and mountains on Patagonia to Cape Horn. The relative inaccessibility of the southern tip of the Americas has preserved its beauty and protected it as one of the world’s last remaining great unspoilt wildernesses, making it the ideal place for an expedition cruise.
