One Ocean Expeditions (OOE), a world leader in small ship expedition cruising, stretches its sails to warmer climates with its inaugural sailings to South and Central America, Scotland, Ireland and Canada’s East Coast. With new options to choose an array of unique daily activities offering adventures for passengers of all ages, fitness levels and diverse interests.
With access to some of the most remote coastal areas, OOE’s guests will have the opportunity to venture into pristine bays and hidden coves, only reachable by small expedition cruise ship. RCGS Resolute, OOE’s newest vessel, is ideally suited to explore warmer waters due to its outdoor deck space and many exceptional panoramic viewing areas. Due to its small size and versatility, the ship is able to optimize coastal routes that would otherwise be inaccessible, allowing guests to Zodiac, kayak and stand-up paddle to shore.
“In these itineraries, there are literally places you just couldn’t get to in a large ship, without pulling up to a dock and getting on a bus. To really do it like we do it, it makes a huge difference,” says Andrew Prossin, Managing Director of OOE, “We can get the ship into small bays and land on a beach by zodiac. This is true expedition cruising.”
OOE’s approach to their ‘Active Discovery’ programming is to offer the perfect blend of activities, wildlife viewing, relaxation, rich culture and historical points of interest, all included in the voyage price. Guests can participate in bicycle journeys, hiking or any number of small-group outing, as well as water-based excursions such as stand up paddle boarding, sea kayaking, snorkelling or zodiac cruising. A highly sought-after addition to this compilation of select itineraries are the new golf voyages, launched on both Canada’s East Coast and in Scotland and Ireland.
With an extensive range of culturally diverse regions, the Active Discovery program also includes activities such as whiskey tastings, museum visits, and health and wellness on board programming such as yoga and meditation.
Travelers will fully appreciate the rich ecosystems that thrive along these coastlines. One Ocean Expeditions has designed these new destination itineraries in the same vein as their polar voyages, ensuring guests enjoy an in-depth exploration and greater understanding of these breathtaking regions.
