Adventure Cruises
Adventure cruises are smooth sailing with MTS
When you think of "adventure cruises" what comes to mind? We're willing to bet it has little to do with floating skyscrapers replete with bowling alleys and tiki lounges. When it comes to exploring the hidden, pristine corners of this beautiful planet, there is simply no substitute for cruising on small ships or deluxe yachts. In our 40 years of exploring places like the Galapagos Islands, Antarctica, Turkey's famed Turquoise Coast, and the frozen reaches near the Arctic Circle, we've found that small vessels give our guests a better, more intimate experience with added flexibility and time for shore excursions.
In the Galapagos, our deluxe yachts carry a maximum of 48 guests, and most carry 16 or fewer. So we spend more time snorkeling with sea lions, photographing the ubiquitous iguanas, and exploring the varied environments of the islands, and less time waiting to go ashore. And for the ultimate Galapagos experience at a time that's best for you, you can charter an entire yacht—a great option for those who want a really special family cruise or adventure with a group of friends.
In the Arctic and Antarctica, where it's harder to travel and conditions can be much rougher, the ships are larger and more stable. But our polar cruise ships still hold fewer than 150 guests, far fewer than even the smallest cruise line can boast. And each is equipped with a fleet of quiet, nimble, and lightning fast Zodiac boats to whisk everyone ashore as quickly as possible.
An adventure cruise in comfort and style
Few places are more uncomfortable than an uncomfortable boat. That's why we've chosen vessels that combine superior maneuverability and access with comfort and style. So you can rest up after a full day of exploring in the Galapagos in a cozy berth, or spend a leisurely morning sipping tea and watching the sun come up over the jewel-like waters of the Turquoise Coast from the stern of a traditional wooden gulet. And all of our adventure cruises employ top-notch leaders that know the region like their own backyard (for many, it is!) and who will delight in sharing their passion for adventure with you. Superb support staff will be on hand to make you feel right at home and see to your every need, in true MTS signature style.
