Unlike when booking with other agencies—actually, even when booking with other operators directly!—our bookings are fully protected. As a German operator, we must adhere to the strictest policies and all our customer bookings are fully protected against insolvency.

Our prices are amongst the best you'll find, and booking through Polartours means you'll never pay more than if you booked with the operator directly. In fact, should you find the same trip for a better price anywhere, then please let us know—we will gladly match it. We also have excellent rates for optional activities during your expedition cruise, such as kayaking, camping, and even helicopter tours!

Plancius Antarctic and Arctic Cruises

Over de cruise gesproken: het was een geweldige ervaring! De service van Oceanwide was zeer efficiënt ondanks de uitbraak van covis tijdens de tour. Ik ben vegetariër dus ik was verrast dat ze genoeg maaltijdopties voor me hadden en het keukenpersoneel deed erg zijn best. De gidsen waren erg deskundig en vriendelijk. We gingen 's avonds na het eten vaak zitten en praatten over onze persoonlijke levens en passies. Het voelde meer als vrienden zijn met hen dan de conventionele toerist-gids relatie. Ik ben blij dat ik deze reis heb gemaakt. Het was een onvergetelijke ervaring met de activiteiten die we hebben gedaan en de vrienden die ik heb gemaakt. Ik zou Oceanwide zeer waarderen voor al hun inspanningen! Ik zou graag nog een keer met Oceanwide op reis gaan, misschien deze keer naar de Noordpool.

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😘

Hicimos un crucero a la Antártida a bordo del Ocean Victory a finales de enero de 2023. El crucero fue una experiencia fantástica. Los paisajes de la Antártida son alucinantes, literalmente fuera de este mundo. Tuvimos un tiempo variado, pero ni siquiera el mal tiempo nos impidió disfrutar de la experiencia. Vimos toda la fauna esperada, aunque no en grandes cantidades (para esto entiendo que es mejor ir a Georgia del Sur). Pero es realmente el paisaje lo que hace que merezca la pena. El barco era estupendo, muy lujoso y cómodo, el servicio excelente. El equipo de expedición fue excepcional, realmente marcaron una gran diferencia. Gracias a Polartours por proponernos el crucero, conseguirnos un buen precio y, en general, por ocuparse de todo de forma amable y profesional.

Nunca había estado en un lugar tan crudo y virgen. Me sentí como en otro planeta y fue tan hermoso que es difícil describirlo con palabras. Debido a la falta de wifi, fue la primera vez que me sentí totalmente presente en mucho tiempo. También protegen la naturaleza y se aseguran de que siempre respetes la tierra. Fue el viaje de mi vida.

Es war in der Tat eine ausgezeichnete Reise und sehr gut organisiert. Von dem Moment an, als Frau Natalya Getman mit mir Kontakt aufnahm, bis ich das Schiff für die Kreuzfahrt verließ, hatte ich das Gefühl, dass ein 5-Sterne-Service für mich bereitgestellt wurde. Sie half mir bei allen Formalitäten und beantwortete alle meine Fragen; freundlich und professionell. Die Ocean Explorer ist ein Reiseziel ganz für sich allein. Das unglaubliche Abenteuer zum Nordpol auf einem erstaunlich starken Eisbrecher war natürlich ein einmaliges Erlebnis. Zu sehen, wie das Schiff durch das Eis schneidet, war wirklich erstaunlich. Der Anblick von 8 schönen Eisbären, mehreren Gruppen von Walrossen und Tausenden von Trottellummen auf der Expedition war einfach fantastisch. Bei verschiedenen Zodiacfahrten konnte ich auch die wunderschönen Eisberge und das Kalben der Gletscher beobachten, eine Erfahrung fürs Leben. Natürlich war das Personal außergewöhnlich und wertschöpfend, kenntnisreich und hilfsbereit. Es war wirklich eine atemberaubende Reise und absolut empfehlenswert.
