decades, chosen for their extensive knowledge of subjects like geology, wildlife biology, and history. They give rich context to the cultures and landscapes we encounter ashore and are also keen-eyed spotters who maximise opportunities to observe each region’s incredible flora and fauna.

Actively Explore Every Day

Our itineraries feature a range of activities designed to immerse you in your destination. Kayak through a maze of icebergs in Patagonia’s Glacier Alley, hike beneath a smouldering volcanic cone in Costa Rica, or ride a Zodiac into an ancient Scottish sea cave. No matter the destination, you will be able to explore your way—and at your own pace—each day. Activities are always included in the price of your voyage.

Exclusive Undersea Program

Whether you’re sailing the turquoise seas of French Polynesia or plying the ice-packed waters of the Arctic, our exclusive undersea program reveals the wonders hidden beneath the waves. Each voyage features an undersea specialist who dons diving gear or deploys a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to document the marine environment, feeding live footage to the ship lounge so you can glimpse fascinating sea creatures and their oceanic habitats.

Developing Young Explorers

The National Geographic Global Explorers Program is an exclusive educational adventure for guests under 18 years of age. This hands-on, interactive program uses the natural world as a classroom in the Galápagos, Alaska, Baja California, and Antarctica. Onboard field educators teach kids to explore like scientists through engaging activities, from learning to identify whale flukes to catching plankton and examining it under a microscope, and young explorers also have the opportunity to get a Zodiac driver’s licence.
