One step closer to a world of wonder sailing directly from the UK

Journey along the British coastline past quaint costal villages and ports bustling with culture, history and natural beauty before reaching the dramatic windswept islands of Scotland. For those wanting to leave behind the UK, to go in search of the Northern Lights or Midnight Sun, we have a range of expeditions that head north towards our homeland of Norway and Southern Scandinavia. Our expeditions are packed with adventures and excitement beyond the tourists spots for a personal and up-close view of the natural and human world.

Get onboard with ORCA

Founded in 2001, ORCA has become one of the UK’s leading whale and dolphin conservation charities, dedicated to the long-term protection of these beautiful animals and their habitats in the UK and European waters. ORCA first joined us onboard in 2019 and since then their trained ocean conservationists have been a permanent part of our Expedition Team onboard MS Maud.
