Expedition Cruise Deals | Antarctica, Arctic & Kimberley

Find the latest expedition cruise deals on small-ship adventures to some of the world’s most remote destinations, including Antarctica, the Arctic, the Kimberley and beyond.

Expedition cruising is built for exploration rather than simply getting from one port to another. Purpose-built ships feature reinforced hulls, Zodiac boats for shore excursions, expert guides including naturalists and marine specialists, and smaller guest numbers designed to maximise time ashore. It is a style of cruising where wildlife, landscapes and access to remote places are the main attraction.

Season and destination are key when choosing an expedition voyage. Antarctica sails during the southern summer, while the Arctic and Svalbard offer voyages during the northern summer months. Australia’s own Kimberley region offers expedition cruising through the dry season, while the Galápagos can be explored year-round.

Choose from expedition cruise lines including Ponant, Scenic, Aurora Expeditions, Coral Expeditions, Quark Expeditions, Silversea, Seabourn and Viking. Each offers a different expedition experience, from ship size and guest numbers to ice capability, included activities and the way you explore each destination.

Expedition cruise deals may include early booking savings, suite reductions, discounted back-to-back voyages, included or credited airfares, reduced single supplements and additional Clean Cruising Club benefits on selected sailings.

With limited capacity and many popular departures selling well in advance, choosing the right destination, season and ship can make a significant difference to your experience. Browse the latest expedition cruise deals below to compare current offers across cruise lines.
