When you hear expedition cruising, you might think Antarctica or the Arctic first, but there is so much more to it. 🌏

Expedition cruising is all about getting closer to the places you visit, often on smaller, purpose-built ships designed to reach remote coastlines, islands and wilderness areas that larger ships simply can’t.

Think Zodiac excursions, wildlife encounters, guided walks, incredible scenery and expert expedition teams who help bring each destination to life.

And the destinations are incredibly varied too.

🐧 Antarctica and the Arctic
🐊 The Kimberley
🌿 New Zealand’s Subantarctic Islands and Fiordland
🌺 The Pacific Islands
🐢 The Galápagos
🌏 Asia, South America and beyond

It’s a fantastic style of cruising for travellers who love nature, wildlife, culture and a real sense of adventure.

And if you’re curious but not quite ready to commit to a full expedition, Heritage Expeditions has a short Port Vila to Auckland sailing from 8–12 November 2026, with three full days at sea and fares from NZ$770pp twin share. A great little way to experience an expedition ship first.
