Heritage & Cultural Experiences
In authentic fashion
Remote destinations
Aqua Expeditions explores the world’s most ecologically and culturally significant locales on board small ships that navigate remote locations off-the-beaten track. Our small explorer vessels offer the opportunity to travel into remote destinations, far removed from crowded areas and conventional tourist attractions. From navigating tenders through the Mekong’s floating villages to having sundowners in the Spice Islands’ historic Dutch forts, we offer one-of-a-kind experiences that can’t be recreated.
Travel with experts
Our expeditions are all led by expert local guides who know the region like the back of their hand. As you embark on twice-daily excursions, they’ll shed light on the best-kept secrets and help you gain a nuanced understanding into what makes these destinations unlike any other in the world.
Highly tailored excursions
We offer plenty of opportunities for you to shape your own day of adventure and discovery. Whether you’re in the mood for long bike rides and challenging hikes or a relaxing tender excursion followed by some time at the spa, we offer the flexibility to switch around parts of our itinerary to best fit your interests.
