Orion Expedition Cruises encourages travelers to not only visit a destination, but to become part of it. Founded in 2004, the company follows the credo, "a path less traveled," offering voyages on ships that combine a wide range of amenities with the ability to reach areas that might otherwise be inaccessible.

Casual elegance is key onboard an Orion Expedition cruise. Beautifully appointed staterooms include marble bathrooms, while ship facilities provide a gymnasium, Jacuzzi, library and boutique.

Themed lectures about visited destinations are given by expedition leaders and guest speakers onboard. Shore excursions might journey into regions of a country that even the locals rarely visit. In most locales, the ship drops anchor at sea and transports passengers to shore with a fleet of Zodiacs.

Authenticity and sustainability are essential to Orion Expedition Cruises. Traditional community chiefs and leaders are consulted when planning itineraries in order to enrich the shared experience. Orion's ships also feature the latest environmental technology and can be self-contained for up to 22 days at sea.

  • Orion offers expedition cruises to the South Pacific, Antarctica, Southeast Asia and Russia.


  • Trips are classified according to the quality of the vessel and its accommodations, and the number of included amenities and activities both on and off the ship. Orion Expedition Cruises specializes in deluxe travel, as Orion vacations typically range from $500 to $700 per person, per day, plus airfare.
