Expeditions to far-flung shores
Expedition Voyages
Our expedition cruises allow the more adventurous of travellers to venture deep into remote locales. Embark upon a virtual circumnavigation of the UK or skirt the shorelines of Australia’s Top End and Cape York. While a voyage to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia presents opportunities to swim with whale sharks and explore far-flung archipelagos.
Our Expedition Fleet
Silver Endeavour
Silversea’s latest arrival raises the bar for expedition cruising. This most luxurious vessel offers comforts rivalling the finest hotel, all while escorting you to the sublime wilderness of Antarctica. Enjoy a multitude of vantage points from the ship’s expansive decks and public areas.
Paspaley Pearl
The sleek motor yacht, Paspaley Pearl, brings you to tropical coasts across far-flung regions. This luxurious home on the seas is purpose built for coastal cruising, while boasting the amenities of a stylish hotel. Gourmet dining awaits at the conclusion of the day’s onshore adventures, before you drift off to sleep in your ultra-modern cabin.
LE COMMANDANT CHARCOT
The world’s only luxury icebreaker, Ponant’s Le Commandant Charcot is capable of cutting through thick ice floes and thus the first of its kind to carry passengers to the Geographic North Pole. With maximum guest numbers of 245, this small ship can access even the most remote areas with ease.
GET CLOSE TO THE ACTION
Our onboard watercraft are ready at a moment’s notice to explore the world’s remote shorelines. From the idyllic islands of Australia’s Top End and the Indonesian archipelago, to rarely discovered corners of Antarctica’s frozen wilderness and the distant wildlife havens of the British Isles. 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.
