The remarkable islands of the Svalbard Archipelago are part of Norway, lying far to the north of the Norwegian mainland and high above the Arctic Circle - a group of wild and rugged mountains, with much of their highland areas being covered in ice & snow.

Cruise along the gentle tributaries of the Amazon; witness Iguazu Falls' crushing strength; travel to the Pantanal, one of the richest biological zones on earth; and finish the journey in Rio, one of the world's most beautiful cities.

China - 5,000 years of history. That alone is enough to draw most people to the Middle Kingdom. Imagine walking through a grand imperial monument such as the Forbidden City - truly a city within a city.

Exchange a curious glance with a blue-footed boobie, admire stunning tri-colored marine iguanas and watch the ever-playful sea lions frolic in the surf. Cool off with a refreshing ocean dip or snorkel with stingrays & view the fantastic underwater world.

Storm petrels skim the sea swells, humpback whales breech in the early morning light and an endearing penguin, wings extended, comes your way as if to say, "welcome". Choose from 2 itineraries - an active expedition and a classic relaxed adventure.
