Independent advice. A carefully considered journey.
We help you compare 82 expedition ships, explain what the brochures don’t, and plan the journey around your voyage. One dedicated adviser, with personal support every day of the week.
Built on experience in the field
Expedition Advisory was founded by Kieran and Juliana after years spent working aboard expedition ships. Our recommendations are shaped by experience in the field—not simply by specifications, brochures or sales material.
We understand the less obvious differences between ships and operators: how efficiently landings run, the pace of the voyage, the culture and autonomy of the expedition team, and how readily plans adapt when wildlife, weather or conditions create an unexpected opportunity.
Two itineraries can appear almost identical on paper and deliver very different experiences. We help you understand why.

Find the right expedition for me
Tell us where you’re considering, when you can travel, what interests you and what matters most—from wildlife and activities to comfort, ship size and budget. We compare routes and expedition styles across 82 ships, check live availability and pricing, and create a focused shortlist with the trade-offs clearly explained.
Build my shortlist →Review an itinerary I’ve found
Email us the itinerary link, brochure or departure details. We’ll assess it honestly, explain anything the brochure may not make clear, check live prices and promotions, and compare alternatives when we believe there may be a better fit.

The operation
How landings, zodiac cruising and daily activities actually run—and how much time you spend experiencing the destination.
The onboard culture
The experience and autonomy of the expedition team, and how confidently they adapt the plan when conditions change.
The real trade-offs
What you gain or give up between ship size, comfort, activities, itinerary, operating style and price.
The journey around your voyage
From getting to the port to making the most of the days before and after, we help you bring the whole trip together, with no additional EA planning fees.
Flight Planning
We recommend flight routes, realistic connection and layover times, and sensible arrival buffer days to reduce the risk of delays affecting embarkation. We consider your departure port and expedition schedule so you can make informed choices.
You book flights separately. We do not issue flight tickets or guarantee connections or arrival.
Hotel Arrangements
We help arrange pre- and post-expedition stays, consider location and transfer options, and check eligible hotel rates for your dates and preferences. We explain the relevant booking conditions before you decide.
Rates, eligibility and availability vary by property and date. Savings are not guaranteed.
Travel Extensions
From a relaxed stopover to a longer land adventure, we help you consider suitable tours and extensions before or after your expedition. We match extra days and experiences to your interests, pace and budget.
Provider prices, inclusions and cancellation conditions apply.
One adviser, throughout your journey
Once you choose your expedition, we arrange the booking and remain your dedicated point of contact before and during your journey.
We communicate with the operator, direct your questions to the right people, help resolve issues and explain what needs to happen at each stage.
Personal support every day of the week. You can contact us seven days a week for help with your booking and travel plans.
A few practical questions
What does “no additional EA planning fees” mean?
EA does not add a separate planning fee for our advice, expedition booking support, hotel assistance or pre- and post-expedition planning. You still pay for the travel services you choose, under the relevant providers’ booking conditions.
Can you book my flights or guarantee I will reach the ship?
Our flight support is advice only. We recommend routes, connection times, layovers and sensible arrival buffers, but you book flights separately. We do not issue flight tickets or guarantee connections or arrival.
Are the hotel rates always cheaper?
We check eligible rates for your dates and preferences. Availability, eligibility and booking conditions vary, and savings are not guaranteed. We explain the conditions before you decide.
What does seven-day support include?
You can contact us every day of the week for help with your booking and travel plans, before and during your journey. Support is not available around the clock, and we do not promise an immediate response.
Can you help if I have already chosen a voyage?
Yes. Bring us the itinerary or departure details. We can review the fit, check availability and pricing, and help you book through EA and plan the travel around your expedition.
