ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME JOURNEYS
Itineraries designed with the knowledge and insight provided by more than 35 years of experience, Gohagan & Company travels from the pristine wilderness on “The White Continent” of Antarctica to the magnificent High Arctic lands of the Svalbard archipelago in the world’s last great frontier. We take you from a Five-Star, small ship voyage Cruising the Great Lakes (sponsored by Arkansas Alumni travelers for September 30 to October 7, 2021) and then on to the extraordinary Great Journey Through Europe featuring three of the world’s legendary railways, cruising the fabled Rhine River and Lake Lucerne with a stay in the magnificent Swiss Alps beneath the great Matterhorn (sponsored by Arkansas Alumni travelers for June 30 to July 10, 2021).
FIVE-STAR, EXCLUSIVELY CHARTERED OCEAN CRUISES
Gohagan & Company is proud to provide the most Five-Star, exclusively-chartered ships and one-of-a-kind voyages in educational travel—the ideal way to experience the unforgettable destinations in our specially designed itineraries. Chartered cruising provides the optimum setting for affinity groups; with no offering to the general public, we create and operate unique itineraries and oversee the entire ship. Enjoy the luxury of intimate, designated spaces in addition to enlightening lecturers for your organization’s private engagements. Many of Gohagan & Company’s exclusive ocean cruises and sea voyages span the globe aboard Ponant’s fleet of Five-Star small ships, including the Ponant Explorer Fleet, designed to a new standard of luxury for an unparalleled expedition cruising experience. In the spirit of history’s great explorers, these six ships—Le Lapérouse, Le Champlain, Le Bougainville, Le Dumont‑d’Urville, Le Jacques Cartier and Le Bellot—venture into remote destinations where captivating cultures, spectacular wildlife and majestic scenery await you. Aboard the exclusively chartered, Five-Star Le Boréal, L’Austral, Le Soléal and Le Lyrial, distinctive French sophistication meets innovative nautical design. Gohagan & Company’s Scottish Isles and Norwegian Fjords program (sponsored by Arkansas Alumni travelers for June 13 to 21, 2021) aboard Le Champlain takes you from the mist-enshrouded peaks of Scotland to Norway’s mighty fjords—a rare voyage only possible by small ship cruising into smaller ports where larger vessels cannot venture.
