Ihr Spezialist für Polar-Expeditionskreuzfahrten

This was the most amazing trip I've ever taken. I was happy we had so many opportunities to see the northern lights and a variety of activities we could choose for each of our landings. The long hikes were my favorite. I thought it was really great how flexible the itinerary was because we got to see polar bears after we changed our landing site.

It was unique, extraordinary, wonderful, beautiful scenery, perfect service from John and Mette, The ship was old and only superficially prepared to transport tourists. Which is why I felt unsafe in this area, so far away from civilization. The cook cooked just as well or as badly as friends of mine when we go on a sailing trip together, you never had the impression that he was a real professional

Polartours will seek to get answers to all questions from the operators. My trip was with Aurora, who providevery detailed pre-trip information. The trip itself was perfectly organised and absolutely amazing, can highly recommend them.

I am a local scientist based in Universidad de Magallanes (Chile). I have travelled in the Ocean Tramp across Tierra del Fuego fjords for nearly two months (2023 and 2024) and the experience has been superb. Not just because we could carry out all our research goals, but also because of the landscape, the boat, the food and, above all, the friendly and genuine good vibes of the crew. We were able to get to tricky sites thanks to the mastery of the crew and after a day of working onshore, we were always received with a hot and amazing meal in a cozy space. All the rutinary issues of living onboard were rapidly solved and we could focused on doing science, travelled across one of the most amazing scenaries in the planet and having fun. At the end of the trips it felt like leaving your adventurous family behind.

In March of 2023 I went on my first month-long scientific research expedition through the fjords of Tierra del Fuego onboard the Ocean Tramp. In March of 2024, I was able to go back and repeat the experience! Both trips were life-changing for me. Our research group was focused on fieldwork onshore in remote fjords along the Beagle Channel. The captain and crew were amazing about getting us into the places that we needed to go. On both trips, we were able to hit all the field locations we hoped to visit. They were extremely well skilled in planning the logistics and finding us safe anchorages for ‘weather days.’ I realize that my time on this boat has been much more extensive than those who have been on the usual 2-week trip. So, I have to say, the food was amazing the whole way through the month both times! On both trips we had some people with dietary restrictions and the cook or crew always worked hard to make a good meal for them, too. The beds were cozy and comfortable. I had the lower bunk in the bow both times, and there was plenty of cabinet space to stuff the contents of my duffel bag. It did get damp occasionally, but the crew would often open the hatches a bit and vent it all out while we were out doing fieldwork. Also, the crew seemed genuinely happy to be there. Anytime we were underway and a whale would pop up, whoever was behind the wheel would make sure we all knew! I 100% recommend this company if you’re looking for the real, no-frills, experience. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be on a real expedition, this is it!

I travelled with Quixote Expeditions on their expedition sailboat Ocean Tramp. I did one of their specialized trips I’m the Chilean Fjords. I couldn’t have had a better experience with the crew and boat. They made sure we took advantage of every opportunity to land, go out in the kayaks and experience the true wilderness of the wholly undiscovered area. I would go again in an instant on any of their trips.
