Imagine gathering your favorite eleven people together, and taking a private tour of the Amazon, the Caribbean, or the Arctic in a 5-star expedition yacht. Now, you can do just that with the German-made Hanse Explorer.

Though pricey (the lowest quoted price is £1,999 per person sharing a twin cabin for 9 nights - around $4,000), the private voyages promise to be the height of exploration experience.

The cabins are state-of-the art, and come equipped with lots of electronic goodies, from flat screen televisions and satellite phones to rain shower systems for the luxury of the inhabitant.

Personal gym and sauna are onboard, as well as interior and exterior dining, where travelers will be served with the very best in yacht cuisine.

However, the real treat seems to be the destinations, where travelers are invited to use one of the yacht’s two zodiacs to explore ice bergs or dock in Rio for a few hours of adventure.

So, whether you want to spring the dough to travel alone, or privately book the whole boat for a twelve-person vacation, you’re bound to have a unique and luxurious cruising experience.
