River and Expedition Cruising

Cruising on smaller vessels, with upgraded amenities, and visiting unique destinations makes both river cruising and expedition cruising appealing to so many people! The demographic for this type of cruising used to be mostly retired travelers - but there's been a huge shift in the recent years.... We want to see more of the world while we are younger - so the ages mixes are perfect!

Expedition cruising is a unique form of travel for those who want to combine adventure, exploration, and comfort, typically to remote and less-visited destinations. Expedition cruises are designed to take travelers to more rugged, off-the-beaten-path locations such as the Arctic, Antarctic, the Galápagos Islands, or the fjords of Norway. These cruises offer so much, including specialized ships equipped for navigating challenging waters and providing their passengers with up-close experiences of wildlife, nature, and cultural encounters. Activities on an expedition cruise often include kayaking, hiking, polar plunges, and zodiac boat excursions.

You will have expert guides, naturalists, and researchers accompany passengers, providing educational insights into the regions' ecosystems, wildlife, and history.

A river cruise offers a relaxed and immersive experience along some of the world's most scenic rivers. Unlike ocean cruises, river cruises navigate through inland waterways, allowing their passengers to visit smaller, often less-accessible towns and cities that are rich in history and culture.

The river cruise experience combines leisurely cruising with frequent stops at charming riverside destinations. Here, you can explore local landmarks, historic sites, and participate in cultural activities. The ships are typically smaller than ocean liners, offering a more personalized atmosphere and scenic views from every cabin.

While onboard, guests can enjoy fine dining, entertainment, and excursions led by knowledgeable guides. And with the smaller ship sizes, you'll always leave with some new friendships.
