The Arctic has never been empty.

it has always been alive. For tens of thousands of years, Indigenous peoples from over 40 distinct ethnic groups have inhabited the Far North, mastering an environment that most of the world deemed uninhabitable. Their stories, traditions, and deep connection to the land and sea are woven into every fjord, every tundra plain, every stretch of polar coast you'll encounter.

When you cruise with us through the fjords of and the Northwest Passage channels of the Canadian Archipelago, savor the privilege of seeing not only wonders of physical geography and wildlife, but also spectacular spaces infused with Indigenous history, tradition, and lore.

Much of this breathtaking realm remains home for Native peoples, and the opportunity on some itineraries to visit Inuit communities is an unforgettable and meaningful one.

How to Spot a in the Wild: A Guide for Explorers

The Arctic is vast, silent, and deceptively still—yet it is home to one of the most awe-inspiring predators on Earth. Knowing how to spot a polar bear transforms every hour on deck into an act of purposeful observation.

Scan the ice edges first.
Polar bears depend on sea ice to hunt, so focus your gaze where ice meets open water—this is prime polar bear territory.

Watch for their gait.
A polar bear moves with a slow, rolling confidence shaped by millennia of Arctic adaptation. That deliberate rhythm, so different from the stillness around it, is often the first thing a trained eye catches.

Look for color contrast. Despite appearing white, polar bear fur carries a subtle cream or yellowish tone—particularly visible against the blue shadows of glaciers or overcast Arctic skies.

Trust your expedition team.
These expert guides have dedicated years to reading animal behavior, migratory patterns, and habitat cues, ensuring every encounter is informed, safe, and deeply respectful of the ecosystems we are privileged to explore.

Few journeys on Earth can rival this one.

Over 22 extraordinary days, you'll sail from Montevideo across the Southern Ocean — tracing a route that explorers have followed for over a century — visiting three of the planet's most remote and awe-inspiring destinations.

First, the Islands: a paradise of seabird colonies, thriving penguins, and dramatic island scenery. Then, — where king penguin colonies stretch as far as the eye can see, elephant seals rule the shores, and the spirit of Ernest Shackleton lingers at every turn. Finally, itself: a world of glaciers, icebergs, and a silence so profound it stays with you long after you return home.

Baby have entered the chat.

Chick season hits the Antarctic Peninsula from December through January — gentoo and chinstrap colonies packed with fuzzy, wobbly new arrivals learning to walk (badly) for the first time. Parents take turns waddling to and from the sea for food while the chicks huddle together in crèches for warmth and safety. It's one of the most chaotic, heart-melting scenes in the wild — and it only happens once a year.

Sail this December–January to catch it firsthand. Book your expedition and get front-row seats to the fluffiest chapter of the season.

A 7-Year-Old Explorer. His First . A Voyage He'll Never Forget.

Some journeys change you. And some — like Corny's — remind us exactly why we do what we do.

At just 7 years old, Corny set sail aboard the MS Fram, venturing into the raw, breathtaking wilderness of the Arctic. And what he found there? His favorite animal in the world — a polar bear, wild and magnificent, moving across the ice as if the world belonged to it.

Because out here, it does.

From the warmth of an expedition vessel built for adventure to the unforgettable moments on deck, eyes wide with wonder — Corny experienced what only the most intrepid travelers dare to seek. He didn't just visit the . He felt it.
Welcome to the polar family, Corny.

Most expeditioners only set foot on the White Continent. Very few dare to submerge beneath it.

When Gavin, our Sales Manager, dipped into the freezing waters of the Southern Ocean, a humpback whale’s final tail-sweep brushed his leg—a moment equal parts terrifying and utterly exhilarating. "I will never forget that," he recalls.

Far beyond a landscape viewed from an observation deck, is an elemental experience felt in the chill of the water, the pounding of your heartbeat, and the raw, unscripted wonder of the frontier.

With only two operators authorized to run expedition programs in Antarctica, spaces are strictly limited for the upcoming season and early booking is recommended.

Are you ready to take the plunge?
