Immersive Experiences On and Off the Ship

At Vantage Explorations, our small expedition ships are thoughtfully designed to bring you closer to the natural world. Spacious observation decks, comfortable shared spaces, a modern lecture theatre, and complimentary access to the gym, sauna, and Jacuzzis ensure your time on board is as enriching as your time ashore. 

The true heart of exploration, however, lies beyond the ship. Our carefully crafted expeditions offer a wide variety of experiences to help you engage more deeply with each destination. Whether you're gliding through calm waters on a Zodiac cruise, joining a guided hike, or simply taking in the landscapes and wildlife, every activity is led by experienced specialists who are passionate about discovery. 

Many activities are included in your expedition, with a selection of optional experiences available at an additional cost. Some activities require advance booking and are tailored to a range of abilities—so whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or trying something for the first time, there’s always an opportunity to connect with the environment in a meaningful and memorable way.
