Expedition Ship Terminology

Written by Adam Lazarus | November 08, 2018

Ranging from authentic polar-class ice-breakers to all-inclusive luxury yachts and every size and shape in-between, expedition cruise ships are a comfortable, easy way to explore the world's most remote regions in style and safety.

These specially designed expedition small-ships are more than just your home away from home as you explore the world's off-the-beaten-path places, they're also home base for daily shore excursions, exploration activities, wildlife encounters, nightly enrichment, expert guest lectures and interaction with like-minded passengers and passionate crew.
