Why book with On Water Expeditions?

More inclusions. More choice.

Enjoy more of what you want included — meals, activities, gear and more — so you spend less time planning and more time exploring.

Smaller is better

From fewer than 30 guests and never more than 200, our small-ship cruises give you the intimacy, access and flexibility big ships can’t offer.

Adventures tailored to you

Snorkel, photograph, kayak, watch wildlife or simply unwind. Whatever your style, there’s an expedition designed just for you.

Travel with purpose

On Water Expeditions is committed to sustainable travel practices, empowering local communities, and working with operators who protect the wild places we all love.
