Small ships, BIG Adventures for women explorers
Small Ship Expeditions are your ticket to exploring some of the wildest, most jaw-dropping corners of the planet, with a crew of adventure-loving women explorers!
We’re talking Arctic thrills in Northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, and Scotland. Or head way, way south for a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Antarctica—complete with waddling penguins and a polar plunge (if you dare!).
These aren’t your average cruises. They’re full-on, soul-stirring experiences where you’ll soak in epic landscapes, dive deep into local cultures, and meet people whose stories will stick with you long after your return.
Because we travel small, we go BIG. Small ship travel lets us slip into hidden harbours, wildlife havens, and secret inlets that big ships can’t touch. With fewer passengers and more intention, every day becomes a personal, powerful, and wildly unforgettable experience.

Our NEW Sailing Adventures
Wild Women Expeditions is proud to introduce three brand-new small-ship adventures that celebrate the untamed spirit of the sea and the sacred wilds of the world. Each sailing adventure is a chance to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with nature.
You’ll set sail through some of the planet’s most wild and wondrous places—the Galápagos Islands, Haida Gwaii, and the Great Bear Rainforest—where every island feels like a new world and every moment sparks discovery.
Small ship travel is intimate by design. No crowds. No rushing. Just deep, soul-sparking travel in places that feel alive with story.
