Polar cruises are our profession
Our Sea Spirit is in action in the polar regions practically all year round. That is why almost all of our expeditions take place in the Arctic or Antarctic.
Team to passenger ratio 1:8
More than a number - the professionalism and personality of our team is also first class. But ultimately it means we have more time for you.
Experience expeditions actively
Depending on the weather, we offer you intensive experiences with at least two activities per day. Optionally, we also offer you camping and kayak tours.
German language
For us, German is considered good form: On board our expedition ships, German is always spoken in addition to English, and lectures and publications will also be translated for you.
environmental protection and responsibility
We are officially approved for use in the polar regions and are committed to best practices and, of course, to protecting and preserving the environment.
Small ship — big moments
When traveling to the polar regions, the choice of ship is of great importance. The smaller the ship, the greater the experience. Particularly small and agile, the ship can advance into remote areas that remain hidden from other, larger ships.
In the Antarctic there are restrictions that every shipping company has to follow — for example, only 100 passengers can go ashore at the same time. With our small, agile and comfortable SEA SPIRIT (max. 114 passengers) we have the perfect ship to offer you the maximum experience. With its spacious outdoor suites and lounges, the SEA SPIRIT offers the perfect expedition experience in comfortable surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere.
For our North Pole expeditions we have the only true ship for this destination, the «50 YEARS OF VICTORY». The strongest icebreaker in the world. With its 75,000 hp, the 50 YEARS OF VICTORY can break through ice up to 3 m thick.
