Creator's Key Takeaways

All an expedition cruise is is it's a cruise that goes, you know, beyond the Caribbean ports.

I would argue that most people that go on these cruises are sort of 55 to 75 and a very average fitness level.

You have to be curious about the area in which you're going to.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Assess your fitness level to ensure you can walk up a flight of stairs or get in and out of a bathtub unassisted.
βœ“Be curious about the natural and cultural areas you plan to visit.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Need to be an Olympic athlete or extremely fit for expedition cruises. β€” Expedition cruises involve gentle walking, kayaking, and zodiac boats; moderate fitness is sufficient.
