I am delighted to showcase a niche and boutique cruise product with amazing discounts for TIC members this week. It is new and exclusive to TIC, authentic, all-inclusive small ship expedition cruising, and close to home. Intimate excursions for 140 guests to Antarctica from the Ross Sea, Australia & New Zealand’s Subantarctic Islands, through the Pacific, Japan, Philippines, or around New Zealand and the Kimberley Coast. Though new to us, Heritage Expeditions is not new to expedition cruising – it is family-owned and has operated since 1985. The company offers TIC their expertise through their  ‘one-of-a-kind’ itineraries in destinations they specialise in. The Heritage Adventurer, purpose-built for adventure cruising, has 14 zodiacs to ensure every guest maximises their experience. There are triple and single cabins available at minimal additional supplements.

Accessing Antarctica and the remote Subantarctic Islands from New Zealand shores on a 28-day itinerary is a rare opportunity and an experience not many achieve. Due to the uniqueness and the total journey inclusions of 11 days in Antarctica’s Ross Sea region, when you compare the per diem cost, the lack of airfare costs and the time travelling to the South American point of entry, it is an immeasurable value for this experience. The four cruises around Japan for 11 nights from $6554 are exceptional.

The famous Kimberley has three departures from $6006. I know the other itineraries in and around Asia and the South Pacific will greatly interest some of our members. Put some time aside and explore Heritage Expeditions’ fantastic website to get a feel of what is on offer to you. Heritage Expeditions.
