EXPEDITION PARTNERS
The ship is the voyage
In Antarctica, the ship is everything: it determines your crossing comfort, landing proximity, and how far south you can travel. We chose our partners ship by ship, season by season. Here’s what we work with and what each line means.

Silversea
Expertly crafted itineraries, all-inclusive service and butler service for every suite; this is Antarctica in true style. And you don’t need to skimp on adventure. Zodiacs and kayaks are just as readily available as soothing steam rooms and relaxing spas.
Swan Hellenic
Swan Hellenic organised the first expert-led cultural voyage in 1954, changing the idea of what an expedition journey could be. Seventy years later, three purpose-built ice-class ships bring that same conviction to its collection of Antarctica cruise itineraries.
Atlas Ocean Voyages
With all ships hosting fewer than 200 guests, Atlas Ocean Voyages offers intimate, all-inclusive expeditions to the polar south, without skimping on the inclusions that larger vessels offer. Aboard each Antarctica sailing there’s a team of 21 naturalists, glaciologists and marine biologists offering unrivaled opportunities to learn about the surrounding landscapes.
