Curiosity is the starting point of every expedition: the desire to ask questions and discover the world from a different perspective. In this spirit, Hapag-Lloyd Cruises offers young people the opportunity to experience nature firsthand and develop a greater awareness of the importance of protecting it through 19 youth cruises available during school holidays until the end of 2028.
“At the heart of every expedition is curiosity: the willingness to ask questions and see the world through other eyes. Anyone who experiences at a young age how fascinating and worthy of protection our natural world is will carry this awareness with them,” says Isolde Susset, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd Cruises.
In addition to the knowledge and experiences gained during the trip, many children also take home new friendships that last long beyond the time they spend together on board.
Currently, there are 19 Young Explorer Trips available during school holidays until the end of 2028. Whether in nearby or far-off destinations, and in warm or cold climates, the variety of options allows for extraordinary discoveries to be enjoyed throughout the year.
The offerings include adventures to view the Northern Lights in Norway, expeditions around Svalbard or Newfoundland and the St. Lawrence River, as well as explorations of the Azores. Each cruise provides unforgettable experiences for young people and adults.
Circumnavigating Svalbard: the classic for explorers
One of the standout proposals is the Svalbard Circumnavigation, which connects Tromsø with Longyearbyen via a flexible route through one of the last great wild regions on Earth.
The route winds through glaciers, deep fjords, and breathtaking Arctic landscapes. Zodiac tours offer opportunities to observe walruses and seals, while expert guides provide insights into geology, climate, and polar research.
Weather and ice conditions play a crucial role in this expedition and will determine whether it is possible to successfully complete the circumnavigation of Svalbard, making the journey a particularly intense nature experience.
The expedition will take place from July 12 to 22, 2027, for 10 days, and can be booked at a special price for two adults and one Young Explorer, including charter flights and the early bird discount, valid until October 31, 2026.
