Expedition Voyages
Some of the world's most extraordinary places are unreachable by plane and impractical by land. Expedition voyages place you in a small, purposefully built ship alongside naturalists, marine biologists, and polar guides — trading the ordinary for the unforgettable. Lindblad Expeditions / National Geographic, Windstar, and Paul Gauguin are Tiffany's partners for the wild places.
Where Ordinary Ships Cannot Go
Antarctica, the Galápagos, the Arctic archipelago, remote Pacific atolls — expedition ships are purpose-built for ice, shallow anchorages, and Zodiac landings on wild shores. Their compact size is the whole point: intimacy with the landscape, access to wildlife, and an immediacy that a 3,000-passenger vessel simply cannot replicate.
Lindblad / National Geographic: Science at the Helm
The Lindblad-National Geographic partnership places certified naturalists, undersea specialists, and photo instructors aboard every departure. You are not merely observing — you are participating in ongoing field research. From Antarctic penguin rookeries to Galápagos giant tortoises, the expertise on deck elevates every encounter far beyond standard sightseeing.
Windstar: Sail-Powered Intimacy
Windstar's sailing yachts carry under 350 guests — barely qualifying as 'small' by expedition standards. Their itineraries thread through the Greek islands, French Polynesia, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean, entering harbours and coves that larger ships cannot reach. Onboard, the feel is relaxed and personal; ashore, the access is unrivalled.
Paul Gauguin: The South Pacific Specialist
For French Polynesia, the Paul Gauguin is the gold standard. The ship is small, the service is French-accented and warm, and the itineraries are built around Tahiti, Bora Bora, the Marquesas, and the Cook Islands. A private motu (islet) with a floating bar materialises at anchor — the kind of detail that becomes the story you tell for years.
