From the beginning of time, humans have felt compelled to step beyond the familiar and seek a new understanding of their environment. This timeless odyssey of exploration continues today. And, for inquisitive travelers, the most comfortable and far-reaching method of true discovery lies in expedition cruising.

Of course, expedition cruising should not mean hardship or discomfort. Modern ships, such as World Discoverer featured on this page, offer you the flexibility of an expeditionary vessel combined with the luxury you'd expect to find on a larger ship. As you travel with a smaller group of passengers, you'll find the ship's intimate nature to be specially rewarding.
