For those who wish to explore the farthest reaches of the globe, our Polar Expeditions take you to the glacial landscapes of Antarctica, the wild frontiers of the Arctic and the soaring fjords of Greenland. Witness the awe-inspiring power of nature throughout explorations of the Antarctic Peninsula and Svalbard, destinations filled with pristine scenes sure to take your breath away. While Antarctica offers icebergs, glaciers and penguins, the Arctic is filled with golden tussock hills, snow-capped mountains and polar bears. Possible landings amid Greenland National Park bring you to extraordinary wildlife, from belugas and narwhals to seals, walruses, caribou, and musk oxen.
Come closer to your environment on a Zodiac custom-made for Atlas’ polar-class yachts, purpose-built for the icy environments of Antarctica and the Arctic. As your Zodiac driver navigates, they’ll make occasional stops so you can listen for the sounds of wildlife and keep an eye out for them. Focus on the soft but distinct rush of water and watch for bubbles just before a breach.
Guided by an expert expedition team, you may be led to dedicated points for the best views and instructed on how to properly interact with wildlife at a safe distance so that you leave only footprints behind. Pique your curiosity with 5-10-minute field interpretations on location from experts in their fields, which may include ecologists, biologists, ornithologists and other field guides.
Every Polar Expedition includes a FREE Cultural Immersion that takes you beyond the usual.
