Ready. It takes permits—thousands of them—to live out our adventure dreams. A process that starts years in advance, it’s a big part of what sets us apart. To keep protected areas wild, the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Tribal Councils, and other agencies often regulate how many people and commercial operators can enter an area and what they can do there. We’re honored that they welcome us. Once in these wild places, it’s your crew that makes your experience. Your onboard team includes the captain, mates, engineers, chefs, expedition guides, and hotel, galley, and deck staff. All incredibly talented yet unique in the flair they bring on board. Like you, they’ve found their un-ness. Each crew member is hand-picked for their outstanding knowledge, experience, customer service, and safety skills—as well as their genuine enthusiasm and welcoming spirit. Crew members undergo training in areas such as leadership, CPR, wilderness response, safety, guest services, and Leave No Trace practices. In other words, you’re in great hands. Your ship is equipped with regional books and your expedition team can answer any questions along the way. From whale and bear aficionados to fluvial geomorphologists (those who study how rivers shape the earth), your guides are full of facts and ready to share. Sit in on an after-dinner talk or pull them aside with one of your burning questions. If they don’t know the answer, they’ll find out.
