We understand that one type of holiday does not fit all, so we’ve created a range of travel styles. Some cover the must-see sights. Some go more in-depth. And sometimes we mix two styles into the one journey. We often offer multiple travel styles in the one destination, ensuring your experience suits your interests, as well as your fitness level.
Antarctica Small Ship Cruising
Venture to the magnificent wilderness of the White Continent aboard the luxurious expedition ship, Le Boreal. Using your ship as a base, enjoy daily morning and afternoon Zodiac rides to Antarctic shores, surveying the most scenic bays and channels and getting up close to the region's incredible wildlife.
Small Ship Expedition Cruising
Small ship expedition cruising is all about venturing further and seeing more, without the crowds. Your expedition team and naturalist experts are there to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment. Venture to the Galapagos Islands to see the wildlife that this unique ecosystem has to offer. Exploring by kayaks and pangas means you’ll always be close to the action and can access remote and hard-to-reach destinations larger ships simply can't get to.
Classic Journeys
Discover the atmospheric cities of Santiago, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro by coach and learn more about the region's highlights on guided walking tours with an expert tour director and local guides. Indulge yourself in the culture and capture the history of the colourful buildings, passionate music and iconic monuments on a South America land journey.
