Specialist Knowledge

Need some help with your trip? Our advisors have travelled extensively and using their firsthand knowledge & experience can help craft your perfect holiday.

Launched in December 2022, The Sylvia Earle is a floating ambassador for the conservation of the planet. Paying tribute to Dr. Sylvia Earle and six pioneering conservationists with public decks honouring their contributions and shining a light on their important conservation causes.

Certified 100% climate neutral, with a fully equipped Citizen Science Centre, expert lectures and participate in Citizen Science Programmes to enrich your knowledge and connection to the places the ship travels to.

The Sylvia Earle is a comfortable base camp for adventure. With a maximum of 132 travellers, their aim is to get you off ship experiencing the natural environment as much as possible; smaller groups also mean we can tread lightly, making a positive impact to the environment.

Each of the vessel’s public decks bear the names of six pioneering female conservationists – Dr. Carden Wallace AM, Joanna Ruxton, Sharon Kwok, Bernadette Demientieff, Dr. Asha de Vos and Hanli Prinsloo – along with a deck dedicated to Dr. Earle herself. The scientists are inspiring leaders in their fields, and as part of the deck theming, will educate you on the impressive and important conservation work they continue to do.
