We've talked about small ship cruising last week, and river cruising the week prior. This week, I'll share some thoughts with you about expedition cruising.
(And by the way, I have an exclusive and private sale offer with AMA Waterways on a 2-for-1 for river cruising the summer and early fall of 2021. To see the exclusive list of 2-for-1 sailings with Lush Life/ Vision/ Direct Travel, I have to put a two-step process for private sale rules. See 2-for-1 List - or email me if you want the list. (I can't put it on social media.)
Expedition cruising is a different kind of cruising animal again. And, like its river cruising and small ship ocean cruising cousins, it focuses on smaller groups and a more intimate experience - which is perfect in a social distancing world. But with expedition cruising, the focus is on adventure.
Expedition ships generally have about 100 passengers on board. You won't find any Broadway show or ice skating rinks on expedition ships, and they generally won't be featuring cocktails by the pool. But expedition cruising will have a focus on wildlife, nature, and have you getting away from the crowds and off the beaten track.
Is a holiday where the luxury is the animal count rather than the sheet thread count sounds like it's for you, then maybe you should look at taking an expedition cruise.
