Worldwide small ship explorations

Voyages of the Great Explorers

The world is your oyster.


Welcome to Voyages of the Great Explorers – unique and separate journeys that will take you to the parts of the world you’ve always dreamed of visiting… and help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

From Asia to the Mediterranean, from Northern Europe to the Americas and across the South Pacific, all Voyages of the Great Explorers adventures take place on our spectacular flagship, Spirit of Oceanus. And you can choose to join us for one voyage, consecutive voyages, even multiple voyages to different parts of the world at different times of the year. It’s all up to your imagination, desire, and schedule.

Focused on Exploration

No matter what voyage you choose, you’ll be in for the adventure of a lifetime. In addition to showing you the famous cities and landmarks you’d expect, we’ll take you to smaller ports and narrower waterways where mega-ships don’t dare go, introducing you to sights, people, customs, and animals that most travelers never see.

Onboard experts and lecturers will bring every region alive with knowledge. Each port will feature a special outing. And every cruise will boast at least one Ultimate Explorer Experience – an excursion so extraordinary, so beyond the expected, that it will become a lifetime highlight.

If you’re ready to discover not just the world, but something about yourself as well, you’re ready for Voyages of the Great Explorers. Let’s set sail together.
