Creator's Key Takeaways

I've worked in sort of the sale of expedition cruises now for over 15 years so I've really seen the market develop

I've just come back from a cruise to Antarctica which signed off my 150th day at sea on an Expedition cruise ship

The typical Expedition cruise ship size of sort of between 100 and 200 passengers is most common

If you're going to go do the Northwest Passage I would definitely recommend the full Transit

โœ“Pick activities based on fitness level and build up gradually
โœ“Take a camera with zoom for better wildlife photos
โœ“Check if cruise line provides parka jackets and return them if not needed
