Think expedition cruising means roughing it in basic conditions? Think again.

In this eye-opening episode of The Travel Podcast, host Hayley Sparkes is joined by Kerry Eades from Scenic to reveal the surprising truth about ultra-luxury expedition travel - where helicopters, submarines, and six-star service meet the world’s most remote destinations.

Ever imagined exploring Antarctica in a submarine or spotting Arctic wildlife from a helicopter—all while sipping champagne in your private suite? This episode unveils the hidden world of premium expedition cruising, where cutting-edge technology meets uncompromising comfort.

You'll discover:

  • Why luxury doesn't mean missing out on authentic exploration
  • How innovation is revolutionising adventure travel for curious, comfort-loving explorers

Whether you're a seasoned cruiser or a curious first-timer, this one will change the way you think about adventure at sea.
