American Safari Cruises

Luxury in the pursuit of adventure

American Safari Cruises specializes in inclusive, active cruises via four luxury yachts, accommodating 12 to 36 guests. They’ve plotted the course – in Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico and the Pacific Northwest; set the menu; and hired the crew. You enjoy the pleasures of yachting without the work. Depending on the program, spend your day kayaking, beachcombing, hiking, snorkeling, sailing or setting out with the onboard naturalist to get an up-close view of wildlife in its own habitat. It’s all included, as are the gourmet meals, premium spirits, micro-brews and fine wines.

Lindblad Expeditions

Turning Vacationers into Explorers

When Lars-Eric Lindblad set out in the late 1950’s, sharing his passion for unknown places and their unique cultural and environmental aspects, he invented “eco-tourism.” Today his son, Sven-Olof Lindblad, refines and reinvents, finding ever more creative ways to explore places already discovered. Your “tool kit” for exploration includes Naturalists, Undersea Specialists, hydrophones, kayaks, bow cameras, remote operating underwater vehicles… and an industry-leading partnership with National Geographic. After all, you are on an expedition, not a tour: eye-opening, inspiring, fun, with every day different than the last.

It invites your imagination, and then, in a dazzling sleight of hand—with its light, air, ice, weather and wildlife—humbles you as no other place on earth can. However you’ve imagined it seems meager in comparison. And if it calls to you, an Antarctica expedition might be the single greatest adventure travel experience of your life.
