ITINERARY
Please note, our cruise itinerary is included merely as a guide. Our voyage will be of an expeditionary nature, where each day’s activities will be determined not only by our Captain and Expedition Team, but on occasion, the vagaries of the weather and sea conditions. Should we chance upon any unexpected encounters with majestic marine life, or find a spot conducive to swimming or snorkelling, we also have the flexibility to drop anchor and linger a while.
