We are excited to announce the release of our Antarctic, the Arctic & Global 2022-2024 Season Brochure, which includes brand new itineraries and many returning classics.
In the newly-released 2023 voyages, you will be able to discover Svalbard in depth for a deeper and more genuine exploration of this magical region, or explore Scotland’s magnificent coastline steeped in the region’s history and legends. Or perhaps you would like to experience the jaw-dropping beauty of the Norwegian coastline and sail north across the imaginary line that marks the Arctic Circle.
The Greg Mortimer and our newest ship, the Sylvia Earle, are designed for discovery, accommodating a maximum of 130 passengers and sporting the revolutionary Ulstein X-BOW® hull, capable of reaching the furthest reaches of our planet smoothly and efficiently. Travelling in small groups means that, unlike on larger ships, you can join every excursion, with more opportunities to get into the environment and exploring on shore.
You are in good hands with our expert international expedition team as you journey to some of the most remote corners of this planet, deepening your connection with the natural world through our comprehensive activity program and citizen science opportunities.
Dive into our brand-new brochure to start planning your next awe-inspiring adventure.
On this extended exploration of the Svalbard archipelago, there is ample time to enjoy the best of this magical region, home to two arctic giants – the majestic polar bear and beguiling walrus. With extra time for exploration, we attempt to circumnavigate Spitsbergen Island to show you some of our favourite places and perhaps discover some new ones. Be dazzled by jaw-dropping icy landscapes and hope for unforgettable wildlife encounters.
From the volcanic landscapes of Iceland and Jan Mayen, following the ice edge to the Arctic wonderland of Svalbard, you will delight in the breathtaking contrasts as you sail across the Arctic Circle to the High Arctic, attempting to reach 80° north latitude. Keep a close watch for tail flukes as whales prepare to dive, or a pronounced blow as they surface for breath. Our binoculars are constantly focused on the pack ice, looking for the majestic polar bears, as thrilling Zodiac excursions reveal glacier-filled fjords and walruses hauled out on ice floes.
Discover the wild isles of Scotland, from the windswept Hebrides, inhabited for over 8,000 years, to the verdant Orkney Islands, where ancient Neolithic and Viking sites conjure images of civilisations long gone. Zodiac-cruise past sea-sculpted coastlines watching for dolphins, seals, and photograph seabirds in one of Europe’s largest seabird colonies. Visit charming villages, meet the friendly locals and maybe even sample a wee dram of Scotland’s finest.
On this epic voyage inspired by Roald Amundsen’s historic expedition, we attempt to sail the full length of the Northwest Passage, carving our way west through the labyrinthine maze of waterways that hug the fabled islands of Arctic Canada, until we reach the Beaufort Sea. Building on our classic Northwest Passage voyage, we visit historical sites explored by heroic adventurers, meet the incredible folk that call this region home, and search for enigmatic wildlife found in this unique corner of the world.
