A TYPICAL DAY

Our small ship cruising programs allow you to experience the best of the natural world, while enjoying the comforts of our friendly floating hotel.  The ship generally makes crossing between islands at night, so every morning you awake to new vistas and discoveries.  Every day we offer a combination of interesting shore excursions and fun shipboard activities.  You can choose which elements of the program you want to participate in. 

Each evening we will gather in the lounge to recount the days events and share memorable stories.  Our onboard musician will provide some lively entertainment during happy hour and the expedition leader will outline the following days schedule.  Our resource staff of naturalists, historians, and other guest  speakers will give informative talks at various times throughout the voyage.
