G Adventures and the Power of Community Tourism
Introducing G Expeditions: Polar Adventures
G Adventures has launched its dedicated expedition cruising arm, G Expeditions, featuring the newly renovated 128-passenger ship, the G Expedition. Previously known as the Ocean Adventurer in partnership with Quark Expeditions, the vessel is now fully under the G Adventures banner and operates small-group polar cruises to the wildest and most remote regions on Earth: Antarctica and the Arctic.These expert-led, adventure-packed polar expeditions are designed to get travelers off the ship and into the action, offering unforgettable encounters with wildlife and natural wonder.
In addition to Polar Cruises, G Adventures offers small-ship cruises in the Galápagos, the Scottish Isles, and on the Amazon River, as well as sailing boat experiences in Sri Lanka.
Changing the World Through Travel
Since 1990, G Adventures has been driven by the goal of changing the world through travel. More than just a small-group travel company, G Adventures operates as a social enterprise, pioneering the concept of community tourism for over 30 years.This commitment means their tours are created by building meaningful, long-term relationships with local communities. This ensures that the experiences directly benefit the people and places travellers visit.G Adventures believes that travel can help traditionally marginalized or undervalued groups—including local communities, Indigenous peoples, women, and youth—realize their full potential. The positive impact of their community tourism philosophy extends beyond their destinations, encompassing their employees, supplier and agent partners, small business owners, customers, and all travellers.When you travel with G Adventures, you are a part of a global community, enjoying enriching experiences that give back and help make the world a better place. The renewed perspective you gain can also inspire positive change in your own community.
If you're keen to explore Isabela and Fernandina on the Galápagos' western edge, the Yolita is your ship. Her spacious cabins give you more room to spread out and relax after heading ashore to hike or snorkel.
This custom-built yacht features a thoughtfully designed layout. The fully equipped galley, complete with an island bar, connects seamlessly to an indoor dining and lounging area. Outside, the bow and stern offer spacious seating for sunbathing or enjoying the sea breeze. Each cabin includes its own bathroom with en-suite or shared facilities, and an outdoor shower provides a refreshing spot to rinse off after swimming.
Spacious, comfortable, and well adorned – the Amatista is all of this and so much more. Share a room with a travel buddy in a gorgeous twin cabin or be the king (or queen) of your domain in a double. A/C is included in all cabins for maximum comfort while you float down the Amazon River. Lounge around while sipping coffee with your group in the communal salon, or chill out on the covered deck while watching birds soar overhead. The Amatista is equipped with a pair of skiffs for excursions, and two naturalist guides at the ready to answer your questions whenever and wherever they come up.
Expert naturalists
The excursions staff and crews of our riverboats are handpicked for their extensive knowledge of the Amazon River, its people, and its wildlife. Formal lectures and informal chats open up the wonders of this mysterious and fragile ecosystem in a personal and powerful way.
Our 54 foot, Kufner Yacht was built in 2016 and refitted in 2020. It features a fully stocked kitchenette, indoor dining and lounging area. On deck there is open seating and lounging space on the bow and seating and lounging in a covered area on the stern. The yacht features 4 cabins with private en suite facilities. There are showers located in each of the private bathrooms and one on deck to use for rinsing off after a swim.
G Expedition: Your Vessel for Deep Polar Immersion
The extensively refurbished G Adventures 128-passenger vessel, the G Expedition, is purpose-built to navigate the planet's most pristine polar regions. This ship seamlessly blends rugged performance with modern comfort, offering an intimate and enriching way to experience the Arctic and Antarctica.
Refined Comfort and Community:
Step aboard the G Expedition and discover a vessel that has undergone a comprehensive upgrade. Every detail is designed for your comfort and enjoyment, from refreshed cabins with private ensuite bathrooms to enlarged and inviting social spaces. The ship’s architecture fosters a strong sense of community, allowing you to connect easily with fellow travellers and expert polar guides.
Advanced Performance and Sustainability:
The G Expedition is equipped with cutting-edge technology to ensure your journey is as smooth and quiet as possible while minimizing environmental impact. Key features include:
Ice Class 1A: Certifies the vessel for safe navigation through challenging ice-filled waters.
Upgraded Stabilizers and Modern Propulsion: These systems work in harmony to deliver exceptionally smooth sailing and stability in open seas.
Significantly Smaller Carbon Footprint: The new, highly-efficient engines and modern propulsion system dramatically reduce emissions, reflecting a deep commitment to sustainable polar travel.
Unmatched Access and Intimacy:
With a strict limit of just 128 passengers, the G Expedition offers an experience that larger vessels simply cannot match. This capacity is key to our philosophy of deep immersion: we aim to get every single guest out on excursions twice a day (weather permitting). This means less time waiting and more time doing what matters most—stepping off the ship to be fully immersed in the magic, the wildlife, and the profound silence of the Arctic and Antarctic wilderness.
Our 16m (53 ft) sailing catamaran is equipped with four double/twin cabins in the Lower Deck, with en suite bathrooms, portholes, and rooftop pop-up skylights. The 12-passenger boat has an additional two bunk bed cabins on the Main Deck, with en suite bathrooms and a window. There is an on-board covered area for dining, an upper sun deck, and forward netting for relaxing.
Used on our Maldives Dhoni Cruise tour (AFMS & AFAN), this traditional fishing boat is essential to Maldivian identity. The motorized one you’ll sail with us has been modernized and equipped with all the amenities you need on the inside and the characteristic look and feel of the real thing on the outside. It comes ready with snorkelling equipment, basic fishing gear, and room for 8 lucky passengers.
The Galápagos’ incredible natural diversity is the crucible from which Charles Darwin’s earth-shattering theory of evolution sprang. There are species of bird, animal, and plant life here that you simply won’t find anywhere else. Blue-footed boobies, giant tortoises, sea lions, marine iguanas – it’s like a nature documentary you can walk through. Get off the couch and come see it for yourself.
Why the Reina Silvia Voyager?
As evolved as all the species you’ll encounter
16 passengers can cruise together and let the CEO Naturalist Guide introduce you to all the wonders of these islands. Enjoy the view from a spacious sun deck, a private balcony (available with most cabins), or from the Jacuzzi.
The Eden boasts a variety of cabin types to host you on your excursion through the Galápagos. Add in two top-deck lounge areas, and you’re ready to explore the islands well-rested and ready to go.
