the routing when necessary, even while an expedition is in progress, providing

a seamless ight experience.

In addition, our ight crew provides outstanding service: expedited boarding,

luggage handling and assistance with customs and immigration ormalities

when possible. Our executive che designs menus to eature locally sourced,

resh ingredients and can accommodate special requests. Onboard lecturers

provide educational background about our destinations. Onboard amenities,
