Some of the most spectacular places in the world can only be reached by small ship, and
these are the places Wilderness Travel loves to explore! We’ve searched the world over and
are delighted to offer you our collection of journeys aboard the finest small ships with the
most intriguing cruising itineraries. These cruises present a unique and comfortable way
to travel, with a great range of experiences and amazing off-the-beaten-path destinations.
They are real voyages for real travelers—perfect for Wilderness Travel’s style of adventuring.
Small-ship travel offers major advantages, from the intimate size of the vessels and the
expertise of onboard guest lecturers and guides to the far-flung destinations themselves,
which range from rugged, ice-draped polar coasts to remote Pacific atolls. You’ll be traveling
under the care of experienced cruise companies, and while these voyages are not operated by
Wilderness Travel, the trips count toward our frequent traveler Toucan Club discounts.
The ships in this collection vary widely in their styles and comforts, from a 36-guest vessel
in the Hawaiian Islands to a 120-guest ice-strengthened expedition ship that plies polar
waters. Yet they all have an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, fascinating itineraries, and the
goal of bringing you to extraordinary places in the company of like-minded companions.
We are thrilled to be working with these small-ship cruise companies, and are happy to help
you find the cruise that’s right for you.
