WHAT OUR EXPEDITION CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US

We’ve just returned from a 14-day Silversea Expedition cruise around Great Britain and Iceland which Rebecca helped to put together. We wanted a specific cabin location and not a generic cabin type and Rebecca managed to do this on favourable terms. She also assisted with our choice of flights and baggage requirements. Thank you Rebecca.”

Peter & Sue

Laura from SixStarCruises has been extremely helpful over the past few days helping my husband and I book a once in a lifetime expedition cruise to the Arctic. Laura was so knowledgeable about the voyage, the cruise line Scenic and for what we can expect whilst on our cruise in 2027. Laura also sent us some of her personal photographs which she took on a similar cruise recently.”

Each day is different to the next, and every moment is more surreal and spectacular than you could ever imagine.”

It’s hard to put into words how truly breathtaking Antarctica as a destination is.

Seabourn’s phenomenal expedition itineraries will take you all over the globe whilst offering their signature experience. Indulge in a completely all-inclusive adventure, from Zodiacs and cultural experiences to exceptional fine dining and an abundance of stunning relaxation spaces and wellness facilities. Seabourn’s expeditions are like ‘safaris at sea’, where you can discover spectacular wildlife and breathtaking scenery with

kayaks and Zodiacs, all launched from your ultra-luxury, Polar Class 6 ‘base camp’ at sea. Seabourn’s 19-person expedition team consists of a variety of passionate experts in the field, from naturalists and scientists to academics, who can share their invaluable knowledge and experience with you to enhance your experience.

I would highly recommend Seabourn Venture to anyone looking to embark on an Expedition Cruise. The ship provided a stunning selection of elegant and comfortable spaces to relax in between explorations and the team on board really brought the journey to life, sharing expert knowledge on the surrounding areas and their fascinating history. There are 4 hot tubs, a small infinity pool, gym and wellness spa facilities, as well as several bars and lounges on board. The service was also exceptional - friendly, intuitive, and personal – I couldn’t fault it!”

The layout of Scenic Eclipse was designed with exquisite detail, making it feel so luxurious and opulent, which in turn made every expedition moment feel special. The dining options on board the ship were vast and I was so impressed by the variety of venues and selection on the menus - Lumiere was my favourite! I was impressed by the size of the stateroom and the storage facilities. I loved the Scenic Slumber Beds; they were incredibly comfortable and equipped with infrared lighting to aid relaxing sleep and a torch for reading. The bathroom was spacious with lots of storage for toiletries and the walk-in shower had a rainforest function. One of my favourite features was that the room had its own binoculars, which was great for coming into port to take a good look at the view ahead.”

I beautifully surprised at how lovey Atlas World Navigator was, from the accommodation to the restaurant and lounges. The crew were excellent – they remembered everyone’s names almost immediately after we boarded. Nothing was too much trouble, and they knew our likes and dislikes and being attentive in a very friendly and personal way. The captain was exceptional and amended the voyage throughout so we could visit the best places in the region. I absolutely loved every moment of my expedition with Atlas.”

AE Expeditions’ Greg Mortimer was incredible, and so was the expedition team. Purpose-built for adventure, the innovative X-Bow design helped make even the rougher seas feel surprisingly manageable. While the observation decks and lounges were perfect for wildlife spotting. Every space felt designed with exploration in mind, from the mudroom used before landings to the lecture theatre where the team shared their expertise. The expedition team really made the trip special. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine love for the polar regions was infectious, whether they were leading landings, spotting wildlife, or sharing stories and insights on board.”

Celebrity Cruises offers guests an incredible opportunity to explore the Galapagos Islands, with a purpose-built, destinationspecific ship to navigate this stunning area of the world. The cruise line offers guests the same exceptional celebrity service and experience whilst also offering guests a truly allinclusive experience in this spectacular part of the world. Each

expedition voyage promises intuitive yet unobtrusive service where you will always be looked after. With varying different award-winning itineraries on offer in the Galapagos and ships specifically built to navigate the destination, Celebrity Cruises are the true experts in exploring this archipelago.

I loved my expedition on Celebrity Flora in the Galapagos Islands. She is a luxury yacht holding a maximum of 100 guests which is considerably smaller than any ocean cruise liner, so you have a much more intimate experience where you can get to know who you’re travelling with. The staff on Celebrity are phenomenal - I have been on a lot of cruises, and this was the best service I have ever received. They knew you by name when you boarded, had your drinks ready for you after the first day, remembering exactly what you preferred. It honestly felt like the staff and guests were one big family, and they went above and beyond in every aspect.”
