From kayaking the quiet backwaters of Alaska's Misty Fjords to exploring Antarctica alongside a National Geographic Photographer and sailing the South Pacific with a traditional master navigator as part of their highly anticipated return to French Polynesia, every voyage offers opportunity for genuine discovery.

• Some of the ship's most appealing features are her outdoor dining and deck spaces, which offer panoramic views of every region’s rich avian and marine life.
