Antarctica & Arctic Expedition Cruises

It was an excellent trip indeed and very well organized. From the moment Ms Natalya Getman contacted me until I left the ship for the cruise, I felt a 5-star service had been provided for me. She helped me with all the paperwork and answered all my queries; friendly and professional. The Ocean Explorer is a destination all on its own. The incredible adventure to the North Pole on an amazingly powerful icebreaker was of course a once in a lifetime experience. Watching the ship cutting through the ice was truly amazing. Witnessing 8 lovely polar bears, several groups of walruses, and thousands of guillemots on the expedition were just awesome. Various zodiac explorations also provided me with a lifetime experience of witnessing the beautiful icebergs and glaciers' calving. Of course, the staff was exceptional and value-added; knowledgeable, and helpful. It was truly a stunning trip and fully recommended.

I have never been somewhere so raw and untouched. It felt like a different planet and was so beautiful its hard to use words to describe this experience. Because of the lack of wifi it was the first time I have felt fully present in so long. They also protect nature and make sure that you always respect the land. It was a trip of a lifetime.

We cruised to Antarctica on board Ocean Victory at the end of January 2023. The cruise was a fantastic experience. The landscape of Antarctica are mind-blowing, literally out of this world. We had a variety of weather, but even bad weather did not deter from enjoying the experience. We did see all the expected fauna, though not in large quantities ( for this I understand it is better to go to South Georgia). But it is really the landscape that makes this worth it. The ship was great, very luxurious and comfortable, service was excellent. The expedition team were outstanding, they really made a big difference. Thanks to Polartours for proposing the cruise, getting us a good price, and generally dealing with everything in a friendly and professional manner !

Eine wunderbare Erfahrung, die ich vielleicht einmal in meinem Leben machen werde. Es war unsere Flitterwochenreise. Um genau zu sein, zu dieser Zeit war ich an Bord, das Wetter war sehr schlecht, so dass ich seekrank wurde und ich war ziemlich begrenzt Aktivitäten zur Verfügung gestellt. Trotz dieser Situation war das Personal sehr nett und das Essen war gut. Außerdem erreichte ich die Antarktis mit etwas mehr Verspätung als ich erwartet hatte. Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis für uns! Danke😘

Wonderful experience I might have once in my life. It was our Honeymoon trip. To be actually at that time i was on the board, the weather was very bad so i got sea sick and I was provided quite limited activities. Despite the situation , the staff members was nice and foods was good. And anyway i arrived at Antarctica with little delay than i expected. It was unforgettable experience for us! Thanks😘

Une expérience merveilleuse que je pourrais avoir une fois dans ma vie. C'était notre voyage de noces. En fait, à l'époque, j'étais à bord, le temps était très mauvais, j'ai eu le mal de mer et on m'a proposé des activités assez limitées. Malgré la situation, les membres du personnel étaient gentils et la nourriture était bonne. Et de toute façon, je suis arrivé en Antarctique avec un peu plus de retard que prévu. C'était une expérience inoubliable pour nous ! Merci😘
