Welcome aboard

The Expedition

About the The Expedition

Launching for the 2025/2026 season, the updated Expedition is a true polar glow-up — blending slick performance, creature comforts, and that classic G community vibe.

Extensively refurbished with new engines, upgraded common areas, and refreshed cabins with ensuite bathrooms, this adventure-ready vessel was designed to keep things cozy, capable, and close to the action.

With space for just 128 passengers, we aim to get everyone off the ship and exploring daily (conditions permitting) — something bigger vessels simply can’t do. That means more time on land, more wildlife sightings, and way more moments you’ll never forget.
