Luxury Expeditions are a trend more than a single destinatio.  There is growing demand among affluent travels to visit “off the beaten path” destinations without the rigors of camping. Most poplar destinations for luxury expeditions include:

  •   Antarctica
    • Discover the magnificent scenery of the Antarctic Peninsula and its abundant summer wildlife of seals, penguins and whales. Come ashore for a close-up look at penguin colonies, modern research facilities and historic sites. Enjoy lectures, special hikes, kayaking and take the opportunity to spend the night in a tent on land!
  • Africa

    • African Safaris are available for all ages and type of traveler -  from families to single explorers.  Prices and accommodations also vary from minimal "camping" to luxury tent  and lodge accommodations.  Here are a sample of trips we like for 2015 that focus on the Kenya & Tanzania region of the continent as the safest and most reliable quality experience.
  • Galapagos
    • The Galapagos Islands are one of the world's last pristine environments, accessible only with small expedition ships.   Galapagos National Park-certified onboard naturalists all help to preseve this delicate archipelago, while enlightening you to its natural and evolutionary significance. It's a journey like no other.
  • Machu Picchu
    • Princess Cruises offers land tours to Machu Picchu with several South American Itineraries.   Take a rail trip to Aguas Calientes.  Next day you can see Machu Picchu at sunrise before the return train trip to Ollantaytambo. Enjoy lunch and sightseeing in Cusco.

  • Chili & Patagonia
    • Pastagonia and the Chile’s fjords offer unspoiled forests and
      mountains that are the definition of wildness.
      By special permission, you can visit some of Patagonia’s remotest parks. Linblad tours and National Geographic offer a first-ever call atArgentina’s Staten Island, where they've obtained very special permission to be one of the few ships ever allowed in.
  • Amazon River
    • Explore the Upper Amazon - aplace shrouded in green, where river levels can rise and fall by several feet overnight, creating ever-new networks of waterways or revealing new forest trails—each one never before explored by kayaker or hiker. Ever-changing, it is a place that begs to be discovered, day after day.
