Abercrombie and Kent offer specialized expedition-type cruises to the more remote areas of the world such as the Amazon, Antarctica, Alaska, Galapagos Islands and Tahiti.  These adventure cruises based on a policy of sustainable visitation offer the unique opportunity to get close to the landscape and wildlife in some unusual places. Experienced lecturers and guides are provided on all cruise ships. Abercrombie and Kent's hearty expedition vessel, Minerva (former Explorer 2), is a familiar face each winter in Antarctica. Carrying some 198 passengers, Minerva features top-flight lecturers, zodiac landings and all the creature comforts, such as all-outside double cabins, good dining and a comfortable dining room. Minerva also cruises the Amazon River and Chilean Fjords. This small maneuverable cruise ship has an ice-hardened hull and is well equipped for expedition cruising.  Abercrombie and Kent is committed to finding cruise ships that offer "simply the best" small-ship cruising in the world - ships that are uniquely right for the season, destination and style of the selected itinerary. Onboard these cruise ships, style is always allied to substance. Each in its own original way, these beautiful vessels offer an on-board experience that's second to none - and in addition they'll take their guests to places few other cruise passengers ever see. It's possible because  Abercrombie and Kent's cruise groups are so small and personal, and our knowledge of these destinations so complete.  Abercrombie and Kent cruises offer the world's most intrepid, intimate, exciting cruise ships, and they know where to send them to ensure that their guests sail beyond the big, brash, "must-see" sights into more rewarding, authentic harbors that can be enjoyed on a leisurely human scale. In addition to small yachts cruises in Alaska (operated by American Safari Cruises) in 2010 Abercrombie and Kent starts offering cruises on the ultra-modern luxury expedition vessel Le Boreal (operated by the French Compagnie des Iles du Ponant).
