Testimonials

Emma C. - Victoria, Canada
Tahiti to the Marquesas
"Our interaction with locals was lovely and touched my very soul—in some instances, unforgettable. The onboard service staff were like non other, a testament to a positive and respectful work environment. I have cruised with many other providers but this was truly exceptional. The food and how it was presented was again exceptional. Thank you, ExpeditionTrips. All was taken care of in a very organised fashion. I felt that all possible eventualities had been taken care of. Thank you!"

Melanesian Discovery
"What a great experience traveling on this amazingly beautiful ship with such a friendly and professional staff. The expedition team was outstanding and answered all our questions about the area, flora and fauna with interesting lectures and history of the area.Visiting islands where locals seldom see white people, and seeing how primitive this part of the world remains, was an eye-opener. They seemed to be as interested in us as we were in them. I could have happily stayed onboard and visited all these great out-of-the-way places still unspoiled by the modern world while enjoying the 5+ star service the ship provides every passenger. We had an amazing and memorable trip. I can't wait to travel on the Orion again!"

Fascinating Islands
"Just wanted to let you know what a special experience I had travelling through Papua New Guinea. We visited some of the most fascinating islands and experienced the raw and real culture of Papua New Guinea.Places that I have only read about were brought to life and I feel very lucky to have been part of such an exciting expedition. All this was made possible by the ship and its fabulous crew and was enhanced by the warmth and hospitality of my fellow adventurers. An unbelievable experience!"
