WHERE WE SAIL TO
Arctic Experiences
Experience nature’s seasonal extravagance in the outer British Isles, Norway, Svalbard, Iceland, Greenland and the Canadian Arctic.
Amazon Experiences
During our expeditions in the Amazon River we will explore varying environments shaped and differentiated by the river itself.
Antarctica Experiences
It lay undetected for most of recorded time, beyond the margins of the known world. Even after someone stumbled on it, its isolation and the necessary rigors of the journey kept all but the most intrepid away.
