About Zegrahm Expeditions

We created ZEGRAHM EXPEDITIONS in October 1990 for one clear reason: to offer travelers the most intriguing adventures in our world, whether by land or sea. Because of our experience in adventure travel, you can rest assured that when we say adventure, we're not talking about the windward side of an island in the Caribbean. We're talking about the unfrequented Northwest and Northeast Passages, the great continent of Antarctica, and in-depth sojourns in the islands of the South Pacific and Indian Ocean.

 

Zegrahm Makes a Difference

While we believe expedition yachts and small ships to be one of the best methods of environmentally responsible travel, there are some areas off the beaten path that can't be reached by ship. Our Eco-Expeditions allow us to share these land destinations with our travelers by utilizing other modes of transportation, always considering the environmental implications and safety first.

We keep the number of travelers on each expedition small to allow members personal contact with their leaders and naturalist experts, making each trip truly expeditionary in nature. Most expeditions are led by one or more of ZEGRAHM's experienced founders.

So what is the meaning of the word ZEGRAHM? As unique as the company itself, the word represents the confluence of the names of the company's founders. ZE is for Zehnder. GR is for Grove. AH is backwards for Harrison (he's a bit of a strange bird anyway). M is for Messick and Metz.

Join us as we explore the fascinating far reaches of the world — Antarctica, the Galápagos, the Arctic, the South Pacific and Indian Ocean — via a fleet of exclusively chartered sailing ships, icebreakers and yachts. Accompany us to Botswana, India, Mongolia and Madagascar on one of our intimate, expertly led land programs. Our expeditions operate year-round, and our destinations include the most remote and remarkable on earth.

From all of us,
