Oceanwide Expeditions

Oceanwide Expeditions stands apart as a pioneer in polar expedition travel, building a legacy on first-hand exploration and immersive, hands-on experiences. With Basecamp Antarctica as a hallmark of its signature approach, the company transforms remote regions into accessible classrooms where guests trade lectures for fieldwork, shoreline for ice, and routine itineraries for action-packed days. It was among the first to bring travelers to Spitsbergen, and it continues to chart courses from Svalbard to Greenland, Iceland to Antarctica, South Georgia to the Falklands and the remote Tristan da Cunha, using its own fleet of ice-strengthened vessels to glide into remote fjords, pack ice, and exposed coasts. These intimate, wildlife-focused expeditions emphasize getting off the ship and into the heart of nature, combining adventurous activities with expert-guided shore excursions so guests can observe colonies, track wildlife, and learn from seasoned expedition teams in some of the world's most pristine polar wilderness.
