The Ships

While the ships are designed with exploration in mind, you quickly discover that they also offer plenty of comfort and ease. The lounges and dining rooms become social hubs. The libraries are a refuge for the more solitary, and observation spaces on deck are perfect spots to make new friends. Fitness Centers and Massage Treatment Rooms offer options to be rigorous, indulgent or both.

Dining on board is excellent. Full buffet breakfasts, casual lunches, and leisurely dinners are served in comfortable dining rooms, on deck or even ashore on a remote beach.

The lifestyle on board is always informal. There are no assigned seats for any meal, and no dress code. Casual clothes and casual attitudes, mixed with curious travelers and intelligent conversation combine for an exceptional expedition.
