Specialty Cruise Lines
These cruise lines offer a truly unique vacation experience, with a wide range of possible amenities and itineraries. Some are expedition cruise lines, others have sailing yachts or are coastal ships.
On these types of cruise lines, there's usually a focus on a specific destination or theme. Itineraries are usually very destination intensive, aided by the fact that they're able to reach many ports of call that larger ships can't.
Expedition cruise lines are a great fit for adventure-seeking travelers, featuring exciting destinations like the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica, and the Norwegian coast. During the cruise, there will usually be plenty of interesting lectures given by experts on the destination being visited. Often, shore excursions are included in the cost of the cruise. In fact, some of these cruise lines have all-inclusive pricing. There's a definite focus on the ship's surrounding scenery, as well as opportunities to view wildlife in their natural habitat. Small, but comfortable, ships are commonplace here, with anywhere from basic to very luxurious public spaces, cuisine, and accommodations (depending on the cruise line and ship).
Sailing Yachts, sail-assisted motor ships, offer a really unique vacation experience. Accommodations and cuisine on these intimate vessels can be anywhere from good to fantastic, depending on the cruise line. Destinations offered by these cruise lines may include the Caribbean, Europe, Panama Canal, Tahiti, and Costa Rica.
Experience a different and magical way of cruising. Ponant prides themselves in providing modest-sized yachts that will transport you where most larger ships cannot reach. Included on board are restaurants that prepare the finest in French-inspired cuisine, as well as a well-trained and discreet staff whose goal is to provide you with the best service possible. For those who enjoy the luxurious life, some of their ships have butler service (for guests staying in select suites). All this and so much more is offered, along with all the privacy you could ask for. Come experience cruising "A la Française", the tasteful style of this company.
A new venture by Viking Cruises, Viking Expeditions will debut in 2022 with two brand new sister expedition ships, Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris. Both 378-guest ships will offer a variety of adventurous itineraries such as the Arctic, Antarctica, Caribbean, and the Great Lakes & Canada. Optimally sized for expeditions, they are small enough to traverse remote areas, yet large enough to provide speed and smooth sailing in rugged seas. Whether from meticulously designed public viewing areas or the comfort of a modern balcony or suite stateroom, guests can experience breathtaking views up close.
The Hangar, an enclosed in-ship marina, will also innovate expeditions aboard Viking Octantis and Viking Polaris . Guests can board RIBs (rigid inflatable boats) inside the ship and easily sail into the water to their excursion.
