7 Reasons to Set Sail with Oceanwide Expeditions


Oceanwide Expeditions, which is preparing to celebrate thirty years of polar exploration, offers its guests journeys into the heart of nature, in some of the most remote areas on Earth.

 In pursuit of the goal to make guests’ cruises to the Arctic and Antarctica truly unforgettable, let’s explore the compelling reasons to embark on a Oceanwide Expeditions‘ ship.

Close to the Heart of Nature

Oceanwide Expeditions‘ trips entail exclusive and unique explorations, giving guests the opportunity to get close to the heart of nature, polar wildlife, and the spirit of adventure for which the Arctic and Antarctica are renowned. Glaciers, snow-covered coasts, whales, polar bears, and vast penguin colonies make up this world.

Extended Excursions

The company’s aim is to minimize time spent on board and maximize time on land with longer and more in-depth excursions that provide a 360-degree immersion in the places visited. The schedule includes both morning and afternoon excursions with a range of equipment suitable for transporting guests beyond ice floes and onto the shore.

Immersive Activities

Kayaking, mountaineering, and underwater diving are some of the program options! Activities organized by Oceanwide Expeditions fully immerse each guest in the polar environment. For example, guests can engage in acoustic workshops where they’ll locate, record, and analyze the enchanting sounds of various polar animals, such as whales, seals, and seabirds. Photography enthusiasts can participate in photography workshops, or they can choose from hiking, helicopter tours, polar water dives, and much more.

Maximum Flexibility

Oceanwide Expeditions‘ ships can access many places that larger vessels cannot, adapting to every weather and wildlife condition, making the programs flexible to provide guests with the most from any surprises that nature may have in store.

 High Value for Money

The fleet, owned by the company and consisting of ice-strengthened ships adequately equipped for polar exploration, allows Oceanwide to offer high-quality journeys at the lowest possible cost while maintaining a high level of service.

Casual Atmosphere

By offering expedition cruises to nature enthusiasts whose sole interest is exploration, the company’s ships reflect this philosophy by prioritizing onboard comfort over luxury, creating a casual atmosphere.

 Excellent Food and Service

Although Oceanwide Expeditions‘ primary goal is the preservation and safeguarding of the polar environment, the ships provide exceptional service and delicious meals to satisfy and pamper guests between landings. The onboard staff is always attentive to ensure that every guest’s journey is as comfortable as it is educational, with engaging presentations covering everything from polar science to local history.

Providing a travel experience that inspires all enthusiasts, Oceanwide Expeditions‘ promise is to continue leading expeditions with passion, highlighting the beauty of the places visited, and bringing guests closer to the heart of the Arctic and Antarctica.
