For big adventures this year, consider expedition cruising to discover engaging and enlivening destinations across the globe. Wilderness Travel has a curated line-up for 2024—2025, which includes tours to the world’s last frontier—Antarctica; journeys to the far north in the Arctic; exclusive once-a-year odyssey cruises to multiple locales around the planet like the coast of West Africa, northern Europe, and Asia; and dynamic river cruises on the planet’s most well-loved rivers—the Danube, Mekong, Amazon, Magdalena, and Rhine.

Savvy travelers who have been to many countries likely have Antarctica on their bucket list. It’s a rare opportunity to see an expansive white land only explored by a small percentage of the world’s population. Home to whales, orcas, seals, penguins, and numerous seabirds, a voyage to the earth's last frontier is an indelible one.
With over 30 years of experience traveling in Antarctica, guests can be rest assured that they’ll be well taken care of. On board, you can expect a team of experts to lead the way through educational lectures. Ocean-view staterooms have en-suite bathrooms and are well-appointed. Whether you choose to explore the Falkland Islands, travel through the Ross Sea, or visit Devil Island to see a colony of Adelie penguins, there’s an expedition tailor-made for you.
If you’ve been itching to see polar bears, walruses, or whales in the wild, now is your chance. Not only will you see incredible wildlife on an Arctic cruise, but also, you’ll have the chance to learn about indigenous peoples and their diverse cultures as they’ve been stewards of the land for over thousands of years. Explore the Svalbard Archipelago, follow the path of the Vikings, travel from Ireland to Iceland, see the aurora borealis, or watch whales aboard a 36-passenger vessel in Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. The options are seemingly endless.
Hop on board a luxurious expedition vessel, complete with guest speakers and expert lecturers, and visit a destination that has always been on top of your wish-list. For the Through the Heart of Japan tour, for example, you’ll spend 11 days around Japan and 4 days around South Korea for a deep dive into the beautiful landscapes, cities, and cultures of the area. Other engaging tours include Circumnavigation of Japan: National Parks, Art, & Culture; Circumnavigation of Sumatra; Undiscovered Philippines and Indonesia; Explore the Wonders of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu; and West Africa Odyssey. If you can dream it, it’s likely on this roster of itineraries.

It’s inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List, our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships, a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year’s worth of traveling the globe—to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech, or sail aboard a beloved cruise line’s inaugural Antarctic voyage—it’s easy to see why we get attached. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever.
