For 20 years now, Clipper has been providing travellers with a unique way to see the world -- from the decks of a small ship. Each year, four ships take passengers to varied and exciting destinations both close to home and far abroad and are always ready for spontaneous discoveries along the way – a pod of whales, a quiet cove, or a surprise chance to drop landing crafts in the water and go ashore. The friendly crew and staff of naturalists and historians are always there to help you enjoy the casual ambience of our ships and the camaraderie of your small group of like-minded adventurers.

They provide discerning travellers with a thoughtful way to see places of natural beauty and cultural interest. To this end, these are small, intimate ships with access to secluded waterways that bigger ships could never consider.

Over the years, we’ve found that Clipper passengers share an adventurous approach to life and tend to be intellectually curious by nature. Many have traveled extensively and are seeking a comfortable, no-hassle (and "no-sequin") way to reach particularly interesting destinations. They have spent quite enough time in crowds. Now they make their choices based upon a desired experience and destination, rather than factors such as price packages, glitzy entertainment or extravagant amenities.
