We're proud to share our first ESG report, covering our initiatives across our operations and our approach to sustainability and impact minimization in the polar regions and beyond!

We're constantly exploring new ways to take our environmentally conscious approach to expedition cruising to the next level, with initiatives both small and large across our entire organization. From vessel upgrades and exciting new eco-sail expedition ships to eliminating plastics and reducing food waste, our team has been hard at work ensuring alignment with environmental regulations and AECO and IAATO guidelines, and identifying where we can lead the way in driving positive change at both ends of the Earth.

We recognize that we cannot afford to be complacent. While we have had many successes in the past year, our journey towards a better future for expedition tourism is just getting started!

On our expedition itineraries to Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic, one polar icon will pop up at almost every landing site and activity location, often when you least expect it! Whether at vast, boisterous colonies or feeding just below the surface of icy water, each penguin encounter will be just as special as the last!

One of our guests captured these fantastic shots, giving you a taster of the eight penguin species you can spot on an expedition cruise with us into the spectacular south. From kings and emperors to the feisty Adélie, you might be surprised by how accurately the movie Happy Feet captured each species' character!

It's time to highlight one of our favorite Antarctic icons - the emperor penguin!

The largest and most spectacular species of penguin, emperor penguins, are perfectly adapted for life in the far south of our planet.

During the Antarctic winter, when males incubate their eggs, temperatures can drop below -50 degrees Celsius, and winds can reach up to 200 kilometers per hour!

Their double layer of feathers, high levels of fat, and small flippers and beaks help to preserve body heat as they huddle together in large colonies.

Antarctica.

This region needs no further explanation. This vast, untamed icy wilderness is one of the last true frontiers on Earth, with no permanent residents and an abundance of mysteries, secrets, and new discoveries waiting to be uncovered far below its snowy plateau.

With us, on an expedition cruise, you can visit some of the most iconic locations, from the pack ice of the Weddell Sea and Snow Hill Island to the Antarctic Peninsula, where whales, penguins and seabirds await.

Antarctica is a polar paradise just waiting to be explored. We dare to go further than most - will you join us in the frozen south?

How far would you go in search of the extraordinary?

Venture deep into Antarctica's remote Weddell Sea, where vast expanses of sea ice, towering icebergs, and rarely explored coastlines set the stage for one of the most adventurous expeditions in the polar regions.

Follow in the footsteps of legendary explorers, enter the realm of the emperor penguin, and discover a world few people will ever have the chance to experience.

Our Remote Weddell Sea Explorer voyage takes Antarctic exploration to another level, pushing beyond the familiar routes and into some of the most remote waters on Earth.

And now, with 20% savings on remaining berths, there's even more reason to answer the call of adventure!

Go further. Explore the edges of the map.

For polar travel specialist Lisa, returning to the Arctic this summer was even more special than her first time in Svalbard, where she explored the spectacular landscapes of the far north and the magical world of the pack ice!

Expedition cruising is unlike anything else in the travel industry, and we often welcome travel specialists on board to get to grips with what Oceanwide Expeditions is all about and help their clients find the perfect polar adventure at both ends of the Earth!

Read about Lisa's recent Svalbard adventures and why an Arctic summer adventure might be the perfect way to beat the tourist crowds in 2027 👉

The Falkland Islands, a British overseas territory in the South Atlantic Ocean, is an archipelago full of breathtaking sights, vibrant wildlife, fascinating history, and more opportunities for expedition adventures than you can imagine!

Across the more than 700 islands that make up the Falklands Archipelago, from tiny outcrops and remote ocean mounts to the largest inhabited islands, West and East Falkland, a variety of seabirds breed and thrive on the windswept cliffs, tussock hills, beaches, and rocky coves, while seals and whales feed in the surrounding seas.

Berths remain on several voyages exploring the Falklands Islands this Antarctic expedition season - are you ready to come aboard? Book now 👉 https://ow.ly/7FVb50ZWJp9

Next year's Arctic season is shaping up to be something special!

Alongside returning classics and guest-favorite itineraries, we have some unique, one-off, and exploratory voyages, set to take guests away from the more well-trodden routes in Iceland, Svalbard, and Greenland and into regions less explored, with unique opportunities for wildlife, landscapes, and immersive activities.

From compact trips for time-strapped travelers to extended epics in northeast Greenland and late-season adventures along Iceland's spectacular northeast coastline, there's plenty to choose from, and limited berths remain on all departures!
