A New Season of Exploration

See Conservation in Action 

Journey through some of Central America’s most remarkable protected landscapes, snorkeling the waters of Coiba National Park, hiking wildlife-rich rainforests and hearing from researchers working to safeguard endangered sea turtles—with opportunities, when conditions allow, to witness turtles released into the ocean. 

Navigate Gray Whale Nurseries 

Enter Baja California’s gray whale nurseries by panga, putting you at water level where mothers and calves may approach our boats. Continue into the Gulf of California to explore volcanic islands, desert interiors and wildlife-rich shores inaccessible to larger ships. 

Reach Remote Headwaters of the Amazon 

Explore the Upper Amazon aboard Delfin II or Delfin III, the only cruise ships built for the river, with shallow drafts designed to reach remote headwaters and tributaries. Venture by skiff into flooded forests and narrow waterways in search of pink river dolphins, caimans and other remarkable wildlife living deep within the rainforest. 

The Land of the Pharaohs, With Unmatched Access 

Journey from Cairo to Abu Simbel, exploring 5,000 years of history with a dedicated Egyptologist and certified photo instructor. You'll sail the Nile aboard the 44-guest Oberoi Philae—the finest ship on the river—and experience iconic monuments, rarely visited archaeological sites and privileged access, including an up-close encounter with the Sphinx. 

From Darwin’s Living Laboratory to Mystical Machu Picchu 

Experience two of South America’s most iconic destinations in one journey, combining the cultural treasures of Peru with the wildlife and volcanic landscapes of the Galápagos. Explore Machu Picchu and other storied Inca sites on land, then continue seamlessly to the archipelago for immersive exploration by sea.
