Wilderness Travel 2021 Cultural Cruises Brochure

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 on-board 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 the finest expedition cruise companies, and while these voyages are not directly operated by Wilderness Travel (as are our land-based Small Group Adventures), the trips are eligible for, and count toward, our frequent traveler Toucan Club discounts. The ships in this collection vary widely in their styles and comforts, including a 22-guest boutique yacht cruising the San Juan Islands and a 132-guest ice-strengthened expedition ship that plies Arctic waters. Yet they all have intimate and relaxed atmospheres, 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. Expedition Cruising Discover the Exciting World of
