Love the small ship experience? You’re in luck: four new cruises are now being offered from International Expeditions. Experienced guides and expedition leaders lead each journey, with an emphasis on sustainability, authenticity, nature, history and culture. Ecuador: Andes & Amazon includes lodging in a 17th-century hacienda, plus a four-night journey into the heart of the Amazon. Daily nature walks and occasions to explore Quito, Otavalo and small villages round out the ten-day tour. Northern Archipelago & Chiloe Island (12 days) takes visitors through the rainforests of Tepuhueico Park, the San Rafael Glacier, northern Patagonia and remote Chiloé Island.

Also new, the 10-day Cuba Voyage aboard the 48-guest Panorama or 46-guest Panorama II takes guests from Cienfuegos to Havana for four nights in Old Havana and a walking tour of Trinidad, with chances to learn about the country’s medical traditions, take dance lessons, participate in pottery workshops and studio visits, and attend local theater and musical performances. The trip also includes Cuba’s Cayo Largo and Guanahacibes Peninsula. During the 17-day Raja Ampat journey, the remote islands of Misool, Salawati, Batanta and Wiageo are the focus. Naturalists lead snorkeling, diving, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding outings in one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet.
