Discover Expedition Cruises with Mapping Your Travel
Adventure Awaits at the Edge of the World
Expedition cruises are voyages of discovery—not your average cruise holiday. They take you far from the typical tourist path to some of the most remote, wild, and awe-inspiring destinations on Earth. Whether you're navigating through glacial fjords, spotting rare wildlife, or visiting untouched island communities, expedition cruises combine immersive travel experiences with comfort and expert-led exploration.
What Is an Expedition Cruise?
Unlike traditional cruises, expedition cruises focus on exploration, education, and connection with nature. These small-ship journeys offer:
Expert guides & naturalists onboard
Smaller groups for intimate access to remote areas
Flexible itineraries that adapt to weather and wildlife sightings
Zodiac excursions, kayaking, hiking, and wildlife photography
A chance to learn about geology, climate, local cultures, and conservation
Who Are Expedition Cruises For?
Everyone.
There’s no age limit to adventure. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple seeking off-the-grid adventure, or a family eager to learn together (most are age 8 and over), expedition cruising welcomes all who have a spirit of curiosity.
You need to be able to put one step in front of the other to get on and off a zodiac (RIB boat). Some cabins are designed for assessibility.
Where Can You Go?
Expedition cruises span both polar extremes and warm, biodiverse paradises. Whether it’s icebergs and penguins or coral reefs and volcanic islands, you’ll journey to the frontiers of our planet.
