The Expedition Cruise Network (ECN) is delighted to welcome Quixote Expeditions as a new expedition cruise operator member.
Quixote Expeditions offers a truly unique option for travellers who want to experience Antarctica without the typical cruise ship environment. Catering to just 12 guests, the micro cruises provide an exclusive, flexible, and immersive experience focused on maximizing time onshore. The fly-in, fly-out option across the Drake Passage eliminates the long sea journey, giving guests more time to explore and photograph Antarctica’s extraordinary landscapes and wildlife. With their vessels Hans Hansson and Ocean Tramp, Quixote Expeditions adapt each itinerary based on daily conditions and sightings, ensuring a personalized journey for those who seek a deeper, more independent adventure in Antarctica.
Co-Founder, Operations Director, Speical Projects Expedition Leader, Laura Smith said: “The Expedition Cruise Network is the perfect forum for everyone in the expedition cruise industry to come together and share experiences. We, at Quixote Expeditions, are at the smaller end of the range, offering micro cruises and this is a great place to showcase the uniqueness of micro cruising in Antarctic waters. Many assume vessels of 100 passengers are the smallest possible and we’re here to help share with the world that there are even smaller options. We are excited to join the ECN community to help continue to educate on all of the options available!“
Akvile Marozaite, CEO of the Expedition Cruise Network said: “We are delighted to welcome Quixote Expeditions to the Expedition Cruise Network. Micro-cruising offers unrivalled access to some of the most remote regions of the world and Quixote Expeditions is is a great addition to our ever growing portfolio of micro expedition operators, adding an alternative option to visit places such as Antarctica onboard a small boat”.
