Once-in-a-lifetime trips and expeditions
ANTARCTICA & SOUTH POLE TRAVEL
Our ship expeditions to Antarctica take you through a world of ice, silence, and astonishing beauty—with small ships, great expertise, and plenty of time for unforgettable moments. Those who want to go even further can experience the South Pole at 90°S on an exclusive flight expedition—it doesn't get much further than that.
GREAT EXPERIENCES ON SMALL SHIPS
Far off the beaten track, small ships take you to places where the world is still wild and untouched. You navigate through narrow fjords, shallow rivers, or remote archipelagos—with maximum nature experience, minimum group size, and a true spirit of discovery. Ideal for anyone who wants something special.
NORTHERN LIGHTS TRIPS ABOVE THE ARCTIC CIRCLE
Anyone who has seen the Northern Lights once in their life will always talk about it with shining eyes. Above the Arctic Circle, the chances of experiencing this natural phenomenon are particularly high: from Alaska to Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway with Spitsbergen, Sweden, and Finland to the Arctic Ocean. We know this area particularly well.
Into the MYSTERIOUS CONGO BASIN
Extraordinary journeys by water, land, and air into the unknown Congo Basin and Congo River: premium river safari or flying safari in 3 lodges. The trips take place in the stable Republic of Congo (not in the unstable Democratic Republic of Congo).
UNIQUE ACCOMMODATIONS
Everything starts with where you stay. Capsules on cliffs, houseboats on lakes and rivers, igloos in the snow, domes on salt lakes, lodges with views of hippos, tree houses above elephants, and much more.
Private tours – A trip just for you!
Our tailor-made signature trips are as individual as the people for whom we design them. With selected boutique accommodations, special encounters, and plenty of room for personal wishes, we create travel experiences of the highest standard—stylish, well thought-out, and beyond the ordinary.
Polar bears and beluga whales in Hudson Bay
Sustainable polar bear watching away from the crowds in an exclusive heritage lodge (accessible only by seaplane) right on Hudson Bay, with the possibility of beluga whale watching or overnight stays in a tundra camp.
DREAM DESTINATION: THE NORTH POLE
A globally unique route crossing the geographic North Pole at 90°N on a luxury expedition ship with hybrid propulsion.
