Expedition cruises to the Pacific, New Zealand and the South Pole
For more than 35 years, Heritage Expeditions has pioneered conservation-driven small ship expedition cruises to some of the world's wildest, least explored and biologically rich regions, including Antarctica, Japan and Southeast Asian Islands, the South Pacific, Australia's Kimberley Coast and New Zealand's Subantarctic Islands, Fiordland and Stewart Island, and now Marlborough Sounds, Abel Tasman, Bay of Islands and the Gulf of Hauraki. Whether you are a birder, photographer, naturalist, conservationist or just an adventurous spirit, these expeditions offer an unparalleled travel experience.
