One Ocean Expeditions

One Ocean Expeditions A new way to play A privately-owned Canadian company, One Ocean Expeditions is the industry leader in small-ship expedition cruising. It provides extraordinary marine travel experiences in remote regions of the world.

With a range of innovative itineraries in Antarctica, the Canadian Arctic, Svalbard, Canada’s East Coast, South and Central America and the Islands of the North Atlantic, a voyage in these destinations is a truly life-changing experience.

One Ocean Expeditions' new golf programme incorporates all the elements of an expedition cruise, while providing access to some of the most prestigious coastal courses in the world. Golfing and non-golfing guests can expect the same range of great activities available on all of our voyages, including photography, wildlife viewing, educational lectures, sea kayaking and cultural tours.

Canada’s East Coast – ‘Fiddles & Sticks’ The Maritime provinces of Canada’s East Coast are home to some of the finest golf courses in North America. Golfers from around the world are drawn by the superb challenges offered in this magnificent coastal setting. Coupled with the rich and vibrant culture of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, this voyage has all the hallmarks of a great golfing vacation.

The first to offer these unique golf expedition cruises, One Ocean Expeditions skilfully blends the distinct expedition experience, full of wildlife encounters, visits to colourful fishing villages and exciting off-ship excursions, with easy access to several of Canada’s most spectacular greens.

One Ocean Expeditions

Scotland & Ireland Golf Expedition No two countries are as synonymous with golf as Scotland and Ireland – the home of the modern game. Today more than a dozen of the world’s top 100 courses can be found in this region.

This new expedition golf voyage combines true golfing pedigree, of which One Ocean Expeditions is proud to match with the agility, advanced capability and comfort of its new expedition ship, RCGS Resolute.

The voyage begins in Dublin, setting sail for the west coast of Scotland, passing the picturesque islands of Islay, Mull and Skye, and playing the fairways at the hidden gems of Macrihanish and Askernish. The ship also sails west to hit the links at Ballyliffin in Ireland. Further north it spends a day in the Orkney Islands before sailing south to Inverness, where guests have access to two outstanding courses. At Aberdeen they find themselves on the doorstep of both Cruden Bay and the Royal Aberdeen, the final courses before the journey ends in Edinburgh.

Relax and enjoy the views Not only does the shipboard accommodation negate the need for constant packing and unpacking, guests also enjoy breathtaking views and convenient access to the golf courses, as they are shuttled effortlessly via Zodiac from one to the next.

Expect the same comprehensive range of great activities available on all of One Ocean Expeditions' voyages, for golfers and non-golfers alike. There will be fantastic opportunities to soak up the spectacular scenery, sample great local cuisine, enjoy whiskey tasting, and be immersed in the local culture and history. Revel in wildlife experiences and try sea kayaking, cycling and stand-up paddle boarding.

Not only that but all green fees, accommodation and activities are included in the voyage fare.
