Our Ships
For more than 20 years, we have specialised in photo expeditions to remote polar regions. The use of expedition ships is essential to ensure we reach our destinations safely and comfortably. Over the years, we have worked with several expedition vessels, gaining valuable insight into what works – and what doesn’t – for photographic expeditions.
In 2021, we had the opportunity to be involved in the refit and transformation of MS Virgo, to become our new expedition ship for Svalbard photo expeditions.
For South Georgia 2026 and Antarctica 2027 we are chartering the expedition ships MV Magellan Explorer and MV Ocean Nova. Click the buttons below to learn more about the expedition ships we operate.
