Adventure Cruises

Sometimes, the ends of the Earth can only be reached by sea. Our Adventure Cruises are designed to take you there. From Antarctica to the Amazon, these small-ship voyages immerse you in the most remote natural places on the planet. Each journey aboard an intimate expedition vessel designed for exploration features comfortable accommodations, onboard experts including naturalists, scientists and historians, and a suite of equipment for investigating the coastline at close range and ashore, such as Zodiacs, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and underwater research tools. With our expertise in small-ship cruises, and our partnership with Lindblad Expeditions, we are able to carefully choose only those vessels and voyages that offer a truly exceptional nature adventure for our guests.
