Adventure Cruising

Cruising appears to be the fastest growing part of the travel market and the variety of ‘adventure cruising’ product grows every day. 

Favourite destinations for adventure cruising are Antarctica, Alaska, the Norwegian Fjords and Patagonia. 

Antarctica has a good range of small ship cruises with most offering a variety of activities including sea kayaking, camping on the ice and even diving. Do see our Polar pages covering Antarctica and the Arctic. 

Alaska is a magnificent destination and without doubt the best way to see the delights of the Inside Passage is on a small ship. You get up close and personal with the wildlife and the scenery. 

The Norwegian Fjords are a relatively new destination for kiwis, but the magnificent scenery of cascading waterfalls, glaciers, narrow gorges and picture-book villages will delight you. 

The Ushuaia to Punta Arenas is a fabulous adventure cruise. Sail through the Magellan Strait and the Beagle Channel between the Chilean city of Punta Arenas and the Argentine city of Ushuaia. Watch penguins, listen to expedition lectures and gaze at the amazing glaciers.
