Cruises and Expeditionary Voyages

Rather than offering cruises in the stereotypical sense, we specialise in providing a range of small ship voyages, which allow for a significantly more interactive and enriching experience. With their informal atmosphere, greater flexibility and access to areas off limits to larger ships, the advantages of travelling by small boat are incomparable.

Steppes Voyages was established specifically to seek out the world’s most exciting boat-based journeys. Given that 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water, the possibilities are endless, whether you want to escape to warmer or cooler climes. From a whale watching cruise in Baja California, to travelling on an expeditionary adventure up The Amazon, searching for the mighty polar bear in Spitsbergen, and partaking in the ultimate polar adventure of The Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica.
