EXPEDITION CRUISES
At Marcopolo Holidays, we believe travel should be an encounter with the extraordinary. We have hand-picked a premier collection of expedition voyages for those who seek more than a vacation. From the silent ice fields of Antarctica to the rugged, mist-covered fjords of Norway, we connect you with the specialized small-ship experts who go where traditional cruises cannot reach.
Marcopolo Holidays team takes the complexity out of expedition travel. We don’t just book a cabin; we manage your entire journey—from navigating complex visas and flights from UAE to ensuring you have the right gear for the polar cold

THE EXPEDITION STANDARDS
EXPERT-LED DISCOVERY
You don’t just travel; you learn. Every ship is staffed with a team of naturalists, biologists, and historians. They lead the shore excursions and give daily briefings, turning a simple sighting into a masterclass in nature and history.
THE "ACTIVE" GEAR ADVANTAGE
Most polar voyages we curate include professional-grade equipment for your comfort. From high-quality parkas to specialized muck boots for wet landings, we ensure you are perfectly equipped for every shore excursion and Zodiac adventure into the remote wild.
SMALL-SHIP ACCESS
We prioritize intimate vessels designed to navigate narrow fjords and shallow bays that larger ships cannot reach. With fewer passengers on board, you enjoy seamless landings, no crowds, and the unique ability to stay closer to the incredible wildlife.
SUSTAINABLE EXPLORATION
We partner with leaders in sustainability who protect the delicate ecosystems we visit. Many ships feature hybrid technology for silent sailing and science labs where you can assist researchers, ensuring your journey leaves a positive impact on the environment.
