Creator's Key Takeaways

The expedition cruise is the one that is going to pull you up to Antarctica is my example or the Arctic and you are going to get off and get on a zodiac or a kayak

They are taking you not only to see places, but you're going to see remote places, and they are having a lot of excursions that are included

Don't count yourself out. Don't look at some places that you can go visit and think, 'I can't possibly do that because I need a wheelchair or I need a scooter or sometimes I need a cane'

The whole goal is a little bit different. On those expedition ships you are going to see that place and be immersed in it in every single way

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose the right cruise line for what you want
Book excursions based on the experience you want on shore or on the water
Don't count yourself out if you have mobility issues; they adjust experiences
