The Unique Allure of Epic Voyages
We tend to rush a lot. Time is rarely a gift we give ourselves. We used to create a greater number of longer expeditions but found that people did not seem to want to devote the time. Life’s pace seemed to have gotten more hectic. But I sense that is changing and people are rethinking their personal relationship to time.
So, here we are—embracing opportunities to slow down our pace and enjoy a greater arc of experience. We call them Epic Voyages because of their scope and rewards that come with the gift of time.
These voyages span the globe. From crossing the entire Atlantic Ocean on a 9,000 nautical mile, replicating the voyage to Antarctica from New Zealand to Argentina I made 50 years ago, to a deep dive into the culture, wildlife, and remarkable undersea of Indonesia, Raja Ampat, and Papua New Guinea.
On all of these voyages there is so much to see and, of course, learn. I have always believed that travel is the best way to learn about and better understand our world. And on Epic Voyages, that’s true in spades. A fi nal note—shared purpose really is the essence of any successful endeavor, as you well know. And that, in many ways, is the magic I believe exists on our expeditions across the globe. We really are in this together, from the captain to the o cers, crew, expedition sta , and guests. It’s an idea we have fostered since inception.
Expedition travel should be a joyful and wonderous experience for all aboard our ships—a shared one which makes our lives infi nitely more interesting.
