These include longer Arctic expeditions, river voyages through Europe, and a return to French Polynesia with access to Makatea, the only uplifted atoll in French Polynesia with sea cliffs, limestone caves, and a stalactite grotto that visitors can swim into.
Each voyage is led by veteran expedition leaders, captains, and naturalists.
Highlights of the 2028-29 season include longer Southeast Alaska itineraries with a new round-trip voyage from Vancouver aboard Greg Mortimer, designed to maximise wildlife encounters and exploration opportunities.
In the British and Irish Isles Jacob Edgar, the expedition’s ethnomusicologist, will connect the Celtic musical traditions as guests sail between regions.
The Antarctica season has expanded cruise/fly options with the Southern Ocean Odyssey combining Patagonia, the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica in a single voyage.
The Arctic season introduces more departures and extended routes, including voyages that spend more than five days on Baffin and a 10-night circumnavigation of Iceland.
The line’s European river voyages combine cultural immersion with exclusive access and after-hours experiences. Guests will have the opportunity to meet Holocaust survivors and hear their stories in Amsterdam, have private after-hours visits to Melk Abbey and Clam Castle, and experience holiday sailings through the Danube’s Christmas markets.
