One of the fastest-growing sectors of cruising in recent years has been "expedition cruising," a type of cruising that involves traveling on specialized vessels to remote, hard-to-reach places like Antarctica.
This is a type of cruising so different from what the big mass-market lines offer that it might as well be considered an entirely different form of travel.
