Expedition Cruises

Do you feel like you've hit a wall planning the ultimate guys getaway? A Galapagos Cruise might be the perfect destination for a bucketlist guys trip. These islands, located off the coast of Ecuador, are home to a wide variety of exotic animals found only here such as marine iguanas, Galapagos giant tortoise, and Flightless cormorants. While you can plan your adventure as an expedition tour, roughing it and getting close to nature while sleeping in tents and cooking your food on a portable grill... there's also plenty of luxury cruise options that range from charter yachts to vessels run by major cruise lines such as Celebrity Flora or Silversea cruises' Silver Origin. Of course, Uncruise Adventures also offers some of the most exciting options to explore the islands on their small expedition-style ship, La Pinta which offers a less luxury - but much more intimate opportunity to connect with the natural environment here.

In recent years the cruise industry has transformed itself from a fairly niche part of the leisure industry driven more by people looking to experience something specific - such as visiting a remote island that almost nobody else ever has, or exploring rivers farther than even many of the great exploreers dared to go back in the golden years of the British Empire. These men and women were true explorers willing to sacrifice creature comforts and service for the opportunity to do something nobody else had done. Today, though, the industry has expanded, and companies like Aqua Expeditions blend the excitement of expedition cruising with the comforts of ultra-premium luxury and service.
