Explorer Ship

Ushuaia (Argentina), Reykjavík (Iceland), Tromsø (Norway)

An Explorer Ship (Expedition Ship) is a small‑scale, luxury cruise vessel purpose‑built for remote, off‑the‑beaten‑path destinations—polar regions, fjords, tropical archipelagos, and isolated coastlines. Unlike large resort cruises, it prioritizes authentic exploration, wildlife encounters, and expert-led discovery in comfort, with ice‑strengthened hulls, shallow drafts, and robust expedition gear. Top operators: Lindblad Expeditions, Quark Expeditions, Explora Journeys, Antarctica21.

Wellness: Spa (hammam, sauna, massage), fitness center, outdoor heated pool, and observation hot tubs.

The hotel is really lovely and the tour guide Risa is looking after us very well. You have done a superb job! Thank you so much!

“ Jordan & Qatar trip ”

We strongly recommend the Doha stopover and the guide we were given. Everywhere he took us was well organized and most interesting. He can tailor the time to suit the client. As for Jordan, one trip for a week is not enough. So much to see. We believe you should request Alaah for tour guide if possible.
