The emphasis of each True North cruise is on ‘experiencing the destination’ and there are plenty of excursions, both on shore and in the water to really get to know the region. You’ll be taken in expedition vehicles in small groups to explore lesser-visited areas that are of particular interest to you. As there are multiple expedition vehicles, it provides guests with the flexibility of deciding what activity to do and when, adding to the laid-back atmosphere on board. Excursions may include diving and snorkeling through coral reefs, gliding above volcanoes by helicopter, visiting stilted villages and browsing local markets. 

The crew of 20 provide a highly personalised service to each guest, who will find plenty to do both on board and on shore, from relaxing on the sun deck or enjoying a refreshing drink at the bar to meeting the locals and learning about their fascinating cultures.
