Every expedition starts with a question.

How close will the humpbacks come? What does Ilulissat’s ice look like under the midnight sun? What’s waiting on the far side of the Drake Passage?

This Black Friday, you can go and find out. Nine of our small-ship expeditions, from a New Year’s voyage toward the Antarctic Circle to a transit of the Panama Canal, are up to 50% off until November 30.

Nine voyages. Four regions. One Opportunity.

Follow Your Curiosity

Antarctica

Experience the Wonder

UP TO 50% OFF

You’re on deck before breakfast when the water beside the ship breaks into rings of bubbles. A moment later, a humpback surfaces close enough that you hear it breathe. Three Antarctic expeditions are on offer, from a New Year’s voyage that sets course for the Antarctic Circle to the peak of whale season.

Curious about?

Icebergs Antarctica Polar Latitudes

Why does some ice glow blue?

Glacial ice is so compressed that most of its air is squeezed out. It absorbs red light, so blue is what reaches your eyes.

A seal resting on an ice floe

Why do seals nap on floating ice?

An ice floe gives them somewhere to rest, digest and molt, away from the orcas hunting below.

Humpback whales in Antarctic waters

When are the whales busiest?

Humpbacks spend the southern summer feeding on krill, and March is the peak of whale season.

The Arctic

Beyond the Familiar

UP TO 50% OFF

The Zodiac idles in a fjord so still you can hear the ice fizz as it melts, and every iceberg drifting past is a different shade of blue. Three Arctic expeditions are on offer, including six Arctic regions in a single voyage.

Curious about?

Ilulissat Icefjord

Why is Ilulissat Icefjord UNESCO-listed?

Its glacier, Sermeq Kujalleq, is one of the fastest-moving and most active in the world, and it keeps the fjord packed with icebergs.

Midnight sun on Disko Bay

Does the sun set in June?

Not in Disko Bay. Ilulissat sits about 300 km (185 miles) north of the Arctic Circle, so in late June the sun stays up all night.

Kjerulf Fjord, Northeast Greenland National Park

How much of Greenland is ice?

About 80%. The ice sheet feeds glaciers that spill down into fjords like this one on the east coast.

Norse turf house, Qassiarsuk

Who sailed this way first?

Norse settlers from Iceland, led by Erik the Red, reached South Greenland in the 980s. Greenland Explorer follows their sea route.

Fog lifts off a sea cliff and a village appears, right where the grass runs out. Island by island, from Scotland’s Western Isles by way of the Faroe Islands to Iceland, the North Atlantic reveals itself one landing at a time.

Curious about?

Viðareiði, Faroe Islands

How many islands make up the Faroes?

Eighteen, and all but one are inhabited.

Atlantic puffin, St Kilda

Where do puffins spend the winter?

Far out at sea. They only come ashore to nest, from spring until late summer.

Isle of Lewis, Outer Hebrides

Where is Gaelic still part of daily life?

In the Hebrides, the heartland of Scottish Gaelic, where you’ll spot it on signs and in place names.

A pair of blue-footed boobies looks you over as if you’re the curiosity. Two separate voyages are on offer: follow the Humboldt Current from Valparaíso to Lima, or sail on from Lima past the cities of Ecuador and the jungles of Colombia to the Panama Canal.

Curious about?

Howler monkey

How loud is a howler monkey?

Loud enough to be heard up to 5 km (3 miles) away through the rainforest.

South American basilisk by the water

Can a lizard really walk on water?

The basilisk can. It sprints on its hind legs, and speed and fringed toes keep it on the surface for a few meters.

Butterfly with eyespots

Why does a butterfly have eyes on its wings?

Those eyespots can startle a predator, or draw its strike away from the butterfly’s body.

White-nosed coati

What’s that long-nosed animal?

A coati, a raccoon relative that roots through the forest floor with its flexible snout.
