Creator's Key Takeaways

I have cruised on large cruise ships over two dozen times whether to explore Alaska or Island toop through the South Pacific

the first difference I noticed between cruising with 107 passengers versus 7,000 passengers was the lack of a concrete itinerary

Expedition cruises on the other hand put the primary focus of the cruise experience on the destination

I found my experience cruising to Antarctica on the Sea Spirit to be among my most monumentous rewarding travel experiences

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Be flexible with itineraries on expedition cruises due to weather
βœ“Compare cost versus reward when choosing between mass market and expedition cruises
