Without doubt one of the in-demand sectors in the travel industry since the pandemic is cruising on board smaller, luxury ships. Couples, families, small groups of friends are finding this to be the perfect vessel – pardon the pun – for spending quality time together in some extraordinary destinations. Uniquely personal experiences exploring the world’s wild and remote corners of the world by sea, far from the madding crowds and often inaccessible by larger vessels or road.
Luxury expedition cruising is the ideal adventure for Epic small group experiences. Far from being confined to your cabin and the deck, the majority of our options are highly interactive and can be as adventurous or physical as you want them to be. From kayaking, island walks, wildlife watching even glacier trekking – you can explore the best of Patagonia, Antarctica and the Galapagos Islands by sea and land.
From Antarctica, to the Galapagos, Australia’s Kimberley coast and beyond. Exploring the timeless reaches of the iconic Mekong River Delta, Indonesian Archipelago and Amazon Rivers. Smaller highly mobile zodiacs can ferry groups from the main ship to see endemic wildlife, traditional villages and local people as they go about their daily lives.
Relax onboard the finest private yachts. Discover floating islands, coral atolls, aquamarine crystal-clear waters and the exquisite beauty of these remote locations.
Perhaps your ultimate Epic journey is island hopping, snorkelling and volcano trekking across Indonesia and New Guinea.

Along with the Kimberley and the Top End in Australia, of course we have the beautiful Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Islands off the Queensland coast.
This is wild luxury adventure at its very best. For more of our incredible collaborative journeys with Planet Deep, on board Fenides and other state of the art cruising vessels through areas like the Coral Triangle, check out our Indonesia page.

7 Nights trip
7 Nights Antarctica MV Magellan Explorer
This fly-in/fly-out adventure is the ultimate way to experience Antarctica and avoids 4 nights ordinarily taken up crossing the Drake Passage. You embark by aircraft from Punta Arenas in southern Chile (the gateway to Patagonia) with a 2 hour flight over the Drake Passage to the South Shetland Islands. You then board the small expeditionary ship the “Magellan Explorer” and embark on an incredible 5 night cruise to the Antarctic peninsula. With upward of only 73 passengers this ship offers Antarctica in the best possible way; incredible comfort and amazing adventure with two activities per day. Kayaking activities are available and limited to 10 people in total. The 10 spots must be booked in advance (at additional cost) and are not interchangeable with other cruise participants. The logistics of this programme make for an easy extension into Chilean Patagonia either pre or post cruise. This is a once in a lifetime experience in the best way possible.
