Expeditions

While we often associate polar adventures with rugged explorers, frostbite and questionable food, the truth is that an Arctic expedition doesn’t mean roughing it.

As one of the last untouched stretches of wilderness, the Arctic is an exciting (and challenging) setting for a polar expedition. You’ve got incredible wildlife and mountain vistas, but also biting winds, snow and icy conditions. So, what are you going to wear??

When Jacques Costeau referred to Mexico’s Baja Peninsula as “the world’s aquarium”, he wasn’t wrong.

In 1975, as a 25-year-old newlywed, I travelled to Morocco for a road trip in a shiny blue Renault. 42 years later, I returned to walk with the Berber nomads.

Kyrgyzstan – as difficult to pronounce as it is to place on a map – is somewhere special. The only way to understand what it’s really like to visit is to experience it for yourself.

To coincide with International Women’s Day, we’re proud to launch three new women-only expeditions to Morocco, Jordan and Iran.

This type of expedition will change your perspective. It will, quite fundamentally, change how you live. It will force you to look inward, instead of down at your phone.

While the landscapes, customs and cultures are reason enough to visit, nowhere is the true character of the region more evident than in its distinctive food traditions.

On the hunt for your next big out-there adventure? These might make your decision a little easier.
