Polar Expeditions explore the rugged wilds of the polar regions in comfortable ice-strengthened expedition ships with a crew of trained naturalists. River Cruises offer wonderful voyages on some of Europe’s storied rivers, as well as the Amazon and Asia’s Mekong River. Journeys by Rail are aboard a luxury train, but the concept is the same.

Optional sea kayaking and snorkeling opportunities are offered on some voyages for memorable encounters with the wonders of underwater realms.
