On Board

Built for the Wild

Modern expedition ships are ice-strengthened, stabilized, and outfitted with submarines, helicopters, kayaks, and Zodiac fleets. Suites are spacious. Dining is excellent. The lecture hall fills nightly.

The expedition team — biologists, glaciologists, historians, photographers — is the soul of the voyage. They set the daily itinerary in response to weather and wildlife, not a printed schedule.
