Is there a minimum length for an expedition charter?

Expedition charters tend to run longer than a Mediterranean week, because the regions demand it. Galapagos itineraries are typically 4 to 8 days, shaped by park route rules. Antarctica, the Arctic and the remote Pacific usually want 10 to 14 days or more once you account for the crossings and the distance between highlights.

Day charters and single-night trips, common on the Riviera, are not really an expedition concept: the whole value is in reaching places that take time to get to.

Tell us the region and how long you have, and we will tell you honestly what is worth doing in the time, rather than selling you a rushed version. See our expedition itineraries.
