Expedition experiences

An expedition means discovering and exploring the extraordinary, making it your own. You’ll have plenty of opportunities for this ashore, whether you opt for thrilling Zodiac rides, hikes with experts or water sports. Our organised shore activities also offer a wealth of options for exploring the region you are visiting in more depth. This means you won’t just see the world. You’ll understand it. Our attractive pre- and post-cruise programmes provide the perfect start and end to your expedition.

HIKES
Your experts will accompany the hikes and landings and draw your attention to details that often go unnoticed by an untrained eye. Snowshoe hiking in Antarctica is a very special experience. Not only will you enjoy spectacular views, you will gain deep insights into the wonders of our planet.

ZODIACS
On our expeditions, the Zodiacs are often lowered into the water several times a day. These expedition rubber boats can take you ashore whenever there is no harbour. A sense of pure adventure is never far behind. You will discover nature from a unique perspective in small groups and with no long waiting times.

ORGANISED SHORE ACTIVITIES
From natural excursions and active tours to culinary discoveries and cultural treasures – our organised shore activities provide you with a wealth of exciting experiences. Of course, our programmes are for small groups. They are also planned with great care and you will be accompanied by experienced tour guides. You will receive a detailed itinerary, including prices, around three months prior to departure.
