Active Ocean Cruises

Set sail on scenic ocean cruises that blend the excitement of active exploration with the luxury of small-ship comfort. With Backroads, you’ll walk, hike and bike your way through some of the world’s most stunning destinations. 

Trek across Antarctic ice to meet penguins up close, explore volcanic landscapes in Iceland and swim with playful sea lions in the Galapagos. Cycle along the Mediterranean’s storied coastlines from Greece to Croatia or soak in the vibrant traditions of Tahiti’s Polynesian culture. 

Our Ocean Cruise Walking, Biking & Multi-Adventure trips turn classic scenic ocean cruises into immersive, all-encompassing adventures with the expert support, thoughtfully curated itineraries and world-class accommodations that define every Backroads journey.
