Explorations of far-flung shores
Expedition Voyages
Our expedition cruises allow the more adventurous of travellers to venture further into remote locales, such as Australia’s seldom-visited Top End and the Kimberley. Further afield, embark upon a virtual circumnavigation of the UK or skirt the shorelines of Croatia. Reaching the otherwise inaccessible becomes effortless, with nimble onboard watercraft bringing the action closer still. Unpack just once and wake each morning to a new adventure, while experiencing all the pleasures of the intimate cruising lifestyle.
Our Expedition Fleet
LE PONANT
The luxurious, three-masted sailing ship Le Ponant brings an additional measure of style to your expedition voyage. And with just 16 staterooms and suites on board, a secluded voyage is assured. Cruise to remote destinations with ease, then get even closer to the action, courtesy of onboard Zodiacs. Then, at the end of each day’s adventures, enjoy fine dining, courtesy of Le Ponant’s talented chefs.
Silver Wind
Explore the world in pure comfort aboard the sleek Silver Wind. Refurbished in November 2021, the ship now stands as one of the most versatile in Silversea’s fleet. Four restaurants serve a range of inspired dishes, while an abundance of lounges and bars offer a relaxing atmosphere during days at sea.
MS HEBRIDEAN SKY
Purpose-built to skirt the shores of remote regions, the MS Hebridean Sky grants guests the ideal small-ship experience. Escorting no more than 96 guests, enjoy the oceanic lifestyle aboard this nimble vessel, whether rounding archipelagos or docking close to cities.
MS ANTARIS
Embark the boutique MS Antaris, with just 30 guests, and cruise the stunning shorelines and islands of the Adriatic. While we naturally make time for Croatia’s most compelling sights, the flexible nature of our itinerary allows for the occasional swim off the deck, or an impromptu dropping of the anchor, should we choose.
GET CLOSE TO THE ACTION
Our onboard watercraft are ready at a moment’s notice to explore secluded waterways and remote shorelines wherever we may be. From the imposing rock formations of the Kimberley to the faraway islands of the North Atlantic, our vessels are equipped to offer a range of tailor-made experiences.
EXPEDITION TEAM
From naturalists to marine biologists, our knowledgeable expedition team are leaders in their field and play a vital role in your daily discoveries as they expertly guide every foray off the ship.
HANDCRAFTED ADVENTURES
The flexible nature of our expedition cruises means there is no regimented itinerary. We might linger a little longer to catch a glimpse of some wildlife, or take a different route on our onboard watercraft if the tides are changing faster than expected.
Your All-Inclusive Life On Board
Everything has been catered for during all of our expedition cruises. Our vessels each promote a casual and intimate experience, with numerous social spaces. Dine in their onboard restaurants, enjoying regional gourmet flavours complemented by fine wines.
