Embark on an Unforgettable Journey with Expedition Cruising


At Dream Vacations, we bring your dream vacation to life, and there’s nothing quite as exhilarating as an expedition cruise. For the adventurous spirit who seeks to explore the unknown, feel the thrill of discovery, and immerse in the awe-inspiring beauty of the world's most remote destinations, expedition cruising promises to be the ultimate escape.

Why Choose Expedition Cruising?

Expedition cruises blend the best of traditional cruising with the excitement of adventurous expedition travel. Think of it as a floating boutique hotel taking you to the doorstep of some of the most breathtaking and unspoiled destinations on the planet. Here’s why you should consider an expedition cruise for your next getaway:

    Remote Destinations: Expedition cruises take you to places that are often inaccessible by traditional means — the Arctic, Antarctica, the Galápagos Islands, and more. You’ll experience the pristine wilderness of these regions, far from the well-trodden tourist trails.

    Educational Enrichment: These cruises come packed with expert-led excursions and lectures by naturalists, historians, and marine biologists. You'll return home smarter, enriched with knowledge about the regions you've explored.

    Up-Close Wildlife Encounters: Whether it’s snorkeling with sea turtles, kayaking alongside seals, or witnessing penguins in their natural habitat, wildlife encounters on expedition cruises are intimate and unforgettable.

    Small Ship Experience: With fewer passengers on board, you’ll enjoy a more personalized and intimate experience. This size also allows access to secluded ports and bays that larger ships can't reach.

Destinations That Call for Adventure

So, where can you go on an expedition cruise? Here are some of the top destinations that beckon the true adventurer:

    Antarctica: Set foot on the Last Continent and marvel at towering icebergs, glaciers, and an array of unique wildlife from whales to emperor penguins. The stark, icy beauty of this remote destination will leave you breathless.


    The Galápagos Islands: Charles Darwin’s famous archipelago is a living museum of biodiversity. Studded with diverse wildlife such as giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and marine iguanas, every island presents a new adventure.

    Alaska: Beyond the cruise ships, explore Alaska’s untouched wilderness, its coastal rainforests, majestic fjords, and vast glaciers. Witness brown bears fishing for salmon and bald eagles soaring overhead.

    The Arctic: Embark on an Arctic expedition to see polar bears wandering on pack ice, walrus colonies, and perhaps even the ethereal Northern Lights. Excursions might take you to Greenland, Spitsbergen, or the Canadian Arctic.


    Patagonia & Chilean Fjords: Navigate the icy waters of southern South America, exploring the rugged beauty of Patagonia and the secluded fjords of Chile. Trek through epic landscapes and witness massive glaciers calving into the sea.

Activities to Stir Your Sense of Adventure

Expedition cruising isn’t just about where you go, but what you do. Here's a taste of the diverse activities you can expect:

    Zodiac Excursions: Get closer to the action with guided Zodiac tours, perfect for exploring secluded bays, up-close wildlife encounters, or dramatic ice formations.


    Guided Hikes: Follow expert guides on hikes through rugged terrains, be it the volcanic islands of the Galápagos or the icy stretches of the Antarctic Peninsula.

    Kayaking and Snorkeling: Paddle through crystal-clear waters and snorkel amongst vibrant marine life, connecting with nature in the most direct way possible.

    Photography Workshops: Capture the incredible landscapes and wildlife with the help of onboard professional photographers, ensuring you bring home stunning memories.

What Cruise Lines Do Expedition Cruises?

    If you think that Expedition Cruising means roughing it while on board, you are completely wrong! You will find some of the most luxurious ships sailing these routes, such as Seabourn, Silversea, Celebrity Cruises, Hurtigruten and Viking. These ships offer the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploration and education.
