I'll also tell you about our expedition cruises. These unique sailings visit remote locales, off-the-beaten-path ports and places of pristine natural beauty with great opportunities for observing wildlife up close. Among the popular destinations are the Arctic, Antarctica and the Galapagos Islands.

Itineraries emphasize onshore exploration, often with experts like naturalists, wildlife specialists and biologists. You'll typically leave from your anchored ship in small yet sturdy motorized inflatable crafts like Zodiacs for shore landings. On an Antarctica cruise I took, we boarded 10-guest Zodiacs and cruised amid icebergs to rocky beaches occupied by colonies of penguins and lounging elephant seals.

Expedition ships are small and often purpose-built for the regions in which they sail. For example, the vessels that head to Antarctica and the Arctic have strengthened hulls designed for navigating ice-packed waters.

A line may specialize exclusively in expedition cruising, or it may devote specific ships or itineraries to this more adventurous style of travel. Some companies have merged the exploratory aspects of expedition cruising with luxury onboard experiences and provide superb dining, accommodations and service.

Below are cruise lines that offer expedition-style cruises. Click any link below for departure dates and rates.

Celebrity
HX
National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions
