Out of Your Comfort Zone and Into the World

 
Push the boundaries on your next vacation with expeditions and excursions specially designed to immerse you in the world. Say “hello” to new cultures and “WOAH” to daring experiences and turn your trip into the adventure of a lifetime.
Stay overnight at the North Pole
Touch down on a frozen runway for your stay quite literally at the top of the world at the Barneo Ice Camp with Quark Expeditions. Here you’ll have the opportunity to learn firsthand from scientists, pilots, engineers and Artic explorers about the research and activities they are conducting. A helicopter will bring you to 90°north, the exact location of the North Pole, where you’ll be able to walk around the pristine white wonderland.
Discover the Customs of the South Pacific
Dive into in the cultural and environmental wonders of the South Pacific on a Paul Gauguin Cruises voyage. Discover villages such as the Runsuc Village of Vanuatu where you’ll listen to traditional folklore, watch as warriors demonstrate their traditional dance, learn the secrets to preparing the local snake-based dish known as “lap lap” and witness a ceremony to celebrate the passage into manhood: fire walking.
Catch Piranha on the Amazon River
Manatees, pink dolphins, sloths, monkeys and vibrant macaws are just a few of the Amazon residents you’ll see on an International Expeditions cruise deep in the Amazon River. Among the fresh, local Peruvian flavors you’ll sample during your trip will be freshly caught piranha you’ll help reel in during an excursion to Ubos Lake.
Go back in time to Ancient Greece
Each of Celestyal Cruises Greek itineraries transports you to the cultural centers of the ancient Greeks. Climb the Acropolis in Athens or walk among the ruins of a marble amphitheater in Melos. Every day, you’ll be treated to the finest regional dishes and Greek wines as you sail between the picturesque islands brimming with legends of centuries past.
