Sailors Grip - One Grip Changes Everything

Before you ever step into a Zodiac, the expedition team teaches you something surprisingly simple: the Sailor’s Grip. It takes just a few seconds to learn, but it changes everything. For many first-time expedition travellers, boarding a Zodiac is the moment they’re most nervous about. The reality? With the right technique and guidance from your expedition crew, it quickly becomes second nature. And that’s important—because Zodiacs are what make expedition cruising unlike any other style of travel. They’re your gateway to places the big ships simply can’t reach. Imagine stepping ashore on a volcanic beach in the Galápagos, cruising beneath towering glaciers in Antarctica, or exploring remote Arctic coastlines where wildlife is measured in moments, not crowds. Every unforgettable landing starts with one confident step. As a Virtuoso Cruise Icon specializing in expedition cruising, I help match travellers with the right expedition line, ship, itinerary, and adventure level—so you can focus on the experience, not the logistics.
