The Cruise Line Perspective

Year-Round Expeditions
An expedition sets forth with a purpose on a journey of discovery. Our year-round expeditions immerse you in natural wonders, cultural treasures and culinary traditions, revealing the authentic heart of each destination through local experts and bespoke experiences both on board and ashore.
 

Polar Expeditions
Aboard our state-of-the-art, polar-class yachts, voyages to the Arctic, Antarctica and the southern tip of South America are accompanied by seasoned expedition leaders and a team that may include geologists, zoologists, conservationists and other researchers. These experts share invaluable insights into life in the polar regions during onboard briefings and lead thrilling Zodiac safaris, shore landings and kayaking adventures that reveal the astonishing natural beauty of these glacial wonderlands.
 

Epicurean Expeditions
One of the most revealing — and delicious — ways to experience a destination is through the lens of its cuisine, which is why our Epicurean Expeditions in the Mediterranean immerse you in culinary culture. Small-group excursions ashore explore not only historic icons and natural wonders but also local markets, restaurants and vineyards. Celebrated chefs and vintners lead cooking classes, wine tastings and other onboard events to further enhance these journeys of discovery.
 

Cultural Expeditions
From the Caribbean to South America to Northern Europe and beyond, Cultural Expeditions reveal the traditions, art, history and innovations that define local communities as well as the beauty of the natural landscapes where they make their homes. Our elegant yachts call on island hideaways and sail into the heart of grand cities, where small-group excursions explore in depth. Experts such as scientists, museum curators, diplomats and folklore specialists join you on board and ashore to lend greater insight into these fascinating destinations.
