Expedition Cruises
Icebergs, polar bears, penguins and wild coastlines. Expedition cruises take you to places few travellers ever see, with experts by your side.
Cruise to the Edge of the Map
Expedition cruising is about discovery, not deck chairs. Small ships, Zodiac landings and onboard experts turn every day into an adventure.
The Polar Regions
The Arctic, including the Canadian High Arctic, Greenland and Svalbard, is explored in the northern summer, when the ice opens up and wildlife is active.
Antarctica is visited during the southern summer, roughly November through March, with penguin colonies, whales and breathtaking ice.

Who It’s For
Expedition cruises are perfect for wildlife lovers, photographers and anyone who loves to learn. Many sailings suit a range of fitness levels, though getting in and out of Zodiacs takes some mobility.
Popular departures sell out well in advance, so it pays to plan early.
