Why Aqua Is Now Going to the Arctic

Francesco Galli Zugaro, founder and president of Aqua Expeditions, talks with James Shillinglaw of Insider Travel Report at New York’s Explorers Club about the latest destinations for his luxury adventure cruise line—the Arctic. With backing from his new partner and investor Ponant Explorations, Galli Zugaro is launching the 30-guest Aqua Lares, a Polar-class vessel that will begin by cruising off the coast of East Africa (Seychelles, Zanzibar and Tanzania) before moving up to Svalbard and the Arctic Circle starting in 2026.
