Discovery Expeditions
Cultural discovery meets true adventure.
On our purpose-built small ships, our Discovery Expeditions take you to the heart of nature and are jam-packed with excursions, guided hikes led by your experienced Expedition Team and unique activities designed to enrich your experience. These itineraries are designed in the true spirit of adventure while offering cultural experiences and opportunities to deep dive into history. Your Expedition Team will be by your side the whole time, enriching your experience with fascinating presentations and insights into the remarkable places you visit.
Visiting a combination of less discovered and more populated areas, and sometimes going off the beaten path entirely, Discovery Expeditions offer the best of both worlds. Because when you disembark, we want you to be richer in your knowledge and understanding of our planet than you were when you stepped aboard.
On Discovery Expeditions, we encourage you to say yes to every shore landing, Zodiac cruise, guided hike or cultural experience, so you can get the most out of your time in the pristine environments and historically significant sites we visit.
