Small Ship Touring
Our small and sturdy expedition ships are specially designed to take passengers into off-the-beaten-waterway areas that larger cruise ships can’t visit – without sacrificing comfort or safety. So we’re able to show you the special places we love in Antarctica, Alaska and the Arctic, and all in Adventure Collection style. Our small ship expeditions also offer intimate appreciations of Baja, the British Isles and the Baltics; Patagonia, New Zealand and the Galapagos. One of our voyages heads westward in the storied wake of Vasco da Gama, Cabral, Magellan and Columbus, crossing the Atlantic from Portugal to Brazil; another traces the watery trail of Lewis and Clark, from the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon all the way to Idaho. Our small-ship adventures also include Australia, Costa Rica, Thailand, Turkey – and more! Wandering by water is a wonderful way to see the world. Welcome aboard!
