Antarctica and the High Arctic expeditions, voyages, cruises and adventures on board the Peregrine Mariner/Akademik Ioffe and Peregrine Voyager/Akademik Sergey Vavilov.

‘Expedition cruising’ is about exploring your chosen destination and is more active than typical ‘cruising’. With a maximum of 110 clients our vessels are the perfect platform from which you explore by foot and in inflatable zodiacs these wilderness areas and go in search of the amazing wildlife.

Antarctica
Expedition cruising to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. You will see icebergs the size of office blocks, and glaciers calving into the sea and watch amazing wildlife; orcas and humpback and minke whales; chinstrap, gentoo, Adelie and king penguins, wandering albatross, snow petrels; Weddell, crab-eater and elephant seals.

Arctic
Expedition cruising to the Canadian and Scandinavian High Arctic. The Northwest Passage, Greenland, Spitsbergen and Baffin Island. Discover true wilderness, the isolated Inuit people, Aurora borealis and amazing wildlife such as polar bears, whales, walruses, puffins and arctic foxes.

New for 2008!
Icebreaker Expeditions
Our icebreaker voyages are unique, exploratory adventures aboard our two, world-class icebreaker vessels. Travelling to both poles, these vessels have the ability to take us places so remote they will be seen by just a privileged few.

Onboard helicopters carry us closer to historic sites and distinctive wildlife, and give bird’s eye views of untouched frozen landscapes and the ship crashing through the pack ice. A truly awesome way to experience the polar regions.
