POLAR EXPEDITIONS - Aboard state-of-the-art, polar-class yachts, voyages to the Arctic, Antarctica and the southern tip of South America are accompanied by seasoned expedition leaders and a team that may include geologists, zoologists, conservationists and other researchers. These experts share invaluable insights into life in the polar regions during onboard briefings and guided thrilling Zodiac safaris, shore landings and kayaking adventures that reveal the astonishing natural beauty of these glacial wonderlands.

EPICUREAN EXPEDITIONS - One of the most revealing — and delicious — ways to experience a destination is through the lens of its cuisine, which is why Epicurean Expeditions in the Mediterranean immerse you in culinary culture. Small-group excursions ashore explore not only historic icons and natural wonders, but also local markets, restaurants and vineyards. Celebrated chefs and vintners lead cooking classes, winetastings and other onboard events to further enhance these journeys of discovery.

CULTURAL EXPEDITIONS - From Northern Europe to South America and beyond, Cultural Expeditions reveal the traditions, art, history and innovations that define local communities, as well as the beauty of the natural landscapes where they make their homes.
