Planet Ambassadorship

Expedition and small-ship adventure cruising transcends traditional travel; it offers profound, life-affirming, and transformative encounters. These journeys forge deep connections with wildlife, often imperilled by climate change, overfishing, and other threats.

This compelling narrative is best experienced firsthand and through the wisdom of dedicated experts—those remarkable individuals who live and breathe this reality daily.

Aboard these vessels are expedition team members, scientists, naturalists, historians, and professional guides who share their unparalleled knowledge and passion. This unique experience bestows upon travellers the privilege of ambassadorship, inspiring them to protect our oceans and share their invaluable experiences with a new generation of explorers.

Paying it Forward

Everything has a cost, and everything needs to be balanced as a result. This includes travel and the importance of giving back and supporting ocean protection activism, whether that be through taking on the challenge of ocean threats or the prevention of cultural disruption.

At ExplorEarth, we tackle environmental stories head-on, focusing on sustainable and responsible travel at every step. We also pay it forward by giving a percentage of our income to important charities like Ocean Generation.
