Cruising Your Way Today’s cruises encourage travelers to push boundaries, post photos, listen to the music, and sometimes, just kick back and relax. As you'll see, whatever your interest, there’s a cruise for that.
Expedition Cruising Goes Luxe Expedition ships used to be bare-boned, stripped down vessels but today’s expedition vessels, led by luxury stalwarts Crystal, Silversea, and Seabourn, are as sumptuous as their other ships. Crystal Endeavor, launching in 2020, will be Crystal Cruises' first expedition ship and will call on ports in the Russian Far East, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. In addition to two excursion helicopters and a submarine, the Polar-class yacht will feature 100 all balcony suites, a spa and six elegant restaurants. Silversea’s Silver Explorer sails to the Russian Far East while the new Silver Origin, launching in 2020, will explore the Galapagos. The ship boasts all-suite accommodations, butler service for all passengers, the highest crew to passenger ratio in the Galapagos and the most environmentally conscious ship Silversea has ever built. Seabourn Venture, scheduled to launch in 2021 was created specifically for the luxury loving expedition traveler. With 132 all suite, ocean-view staterooms with balconies, the ship will call on ports in the Arctic, the Amazon, and Antarctica. For a once-in-alifetime adventure, guests will be able to explore the world below the sea in one of two custom built submarines.
