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.
