The adventurous types would not be dismayed once they set foot on an expedition cruise. Expedition cruises offer the best of both worlds – that of luxury, and that of adventure. Those who are bored with the routine and schedule of their daily lives will be thrilled with an expedition cruise – for what is more exciting than quests and journeys off the beaten track? A person’s sense of adventure would surely be satisfied while on this trip to the unusual.

Expedition cruises offer cruise products that specialise in adventure cruises, although, of course, there are different kinds and varieties of expedition cruises. World-wide itineraries are offered by some cruise lines like Hurtigruten (formerly Norwegian Coastal Voyages) with their Lindblad Expeditions, and Prince Albert II from Silversea.

Hurtigruten sails through Antarctica, the Arctic region, South America, and Greenland. While visiting the white continent of Antarctica, you would get the chance to feel South Georgia, Chilean Fjords, and the Falklands. And if more ice is desired, then Greenland would be your next destination. Huge icebergs, the most active glaciers, and waterfalls – doesn’t it sound exciting?! Add some walrus sightings at the walrus sanctuary in Moffen, then top it off with polar bears, eagles, seals, and puffins and for sure, your Arctic trip will leave you out of breath.

If you want to end up in the South Pacific and South East Asia, you can sign up with Orion Expedition Cruises. They even have a set of expedition experts on board to share their knowledge with you, including marine biologists, artists, historians, and explorers.

Celebrity Cruise Line is another cruise line with a unique destination. Their Celebrity Xpeditions can take you to the awe-inspiring Galapagos Island. Filled with wildlife such as wingless birds and land tortoises, you will not wonder why Charles Darwin fell in love with this place.
