Expedition Cruise Destinations
-
Antarctica
The White Continent is the ultimate frontier — a vast wilderness of sculpted icebergs, snow-clad peaks, and colonies of penguins so curious they’ll waddle right up to greet you.
Expedition cruising here means Zodiac landings on remote shores, kayaking alongside seals, and standing in awe as whales breach in icy waters.
With no ports or infrastructure, the ship is your sanctuary, balancing adventure with comfort as you trace the footsteps of explorers into one of the last truly untouched places on Earth.
-
Arctic & Svalbard
The far north holds a raw, haunting beauty where glaciers calve into fjords and polar bears roam across drifting pack ice.
From Svalbard to Greenland, expedition cruising here is about discovery — searching for wildlife in its natural habitat, visiting Inuit communities, and experiencing the midnight sun or, later in the season, the northern lights.
Every day feels unscripted, dictated by ice, weather, and the secrets of the polar wilderness.
-
Galápagos Islands
Nowhere else blends wildlife encounters and pristine landscapes like the Galápagos.
On an expedition cruise, each island offers a different wonder: giant tortoises lumbering across lava fields, blue-footed boobies in courtship dance, sea lions lazing on golden sand.
With naturalists guiding every landing, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Darwin’s “living laboratory” — a place where evolution still unfolds before your eyes.
-
Patagonia & Chilean Fjords
Southern Chile’s labyrinth of fjords and channels feels like the edge of the world.
Towering glaciers spill into turquoise bays, windswept islets shelter rare wildlife, and jagged peaks form a dramatic backdrop.
Expedition cruises here offer Zodiac landings on wild shores, hikes to waterfalls, and sightings of whales navigating icy waters — all framed by Patagonia’s fierce, untamed beauty.
-
Alaska
While larger cruise ships sail Alaska’s main ports, expedition vessels slip into hidden coves and narrow fjords.
Here, you’ll kayak beneath tidewater glaciers, watch brown bears foraging along the shoreline, and listen for the thunder of calving ice.
With naturalist guides, every day feels like a discovery — one that brings you closer to the state’s wild heart.
-
Kimberley, Australia
Australia’s Kimberley coast is a land of contrasts: ochre cliffs plunging into turquoise seas, ancient Aboriginal rock art tucked into caves, and waterfalls that thunder into the ocean.
Expedition cruising is the only way to truly experience its remoteness.
Days are spent exploring by Zodiac, spotting saltwater crocodiles, and learning the stories etched into this rugged, ancient landscape.
Why Travel by Expedition Cruise
Expedition cruising is travel at its most raw and remarkable — a chance to step into landscapes few will ever see. It’s standing on the deck as icebergs drift past in Antarctica, watching penguins shuffle across black-sand shores, or tracing the Amazon by zodiac into the heart of the jungle.
This isn’t about ticking off ports; it’s about discovery. Purpose-built ships take you where larger vessels can’t — through polar seas, remote archipelagos, and wild coastlines untouched by mass tourism. Onboard, comfort and curiosity coexist: fine dining after a day’s hike across tundra, lectures from naturalists and historians, and suites designed for unwinding with a view that never stops changing.
At Travel by EWT, we match you with voyages that go beyond sightseeing. Think intimate encounters with wildlife, hands-on conservation experiences, and journeys guided by experts who reveal the hidden stories of each destination.
Expedition cruising is for those who want more than a holiday. It’s for those who crave perspective, connection, and the thrill of seeing the world as it truly is — untamed, unforgettable, and waiting to be explored.
Cruise Lines
Not all cruise lines are created equal - and that’s exactly the point. Some feel like boutique hotels at sea, with curated excursions and fine dining. Others are made for adventure-lovers, culture-seekers, or family fun. No matter what your style of travel is - there’s a cruise line built for you.
