Think of a cruise holiday and you'll likely picture a large ship, touristy stopovers and evening entertainment. But an expedition cruise is a different beast entirely. It's a form of transport that allows you to discover the world through a different lens, visiting incredible places and observing nature like never before. Imagine small, intimate ships with an emphasis on exploration, science and curiosity – that's an expedition cruise.
