About Albatros Expeditions Cruises
Unforgettable adventures and experiences in Arctic and Antarctic on Albatros expeditions. Access areas off-limits for most ordinary ships to explore deeper on ice-class expedition vessels, Ocean Victory and Ocean Albatros with PC6/1A ice ratings. Access narrow inlets and sail close to shore, in-between icebergs and in remote areas of the ocean. Disembark quickly via a fleet of Zodiac watercraft and access amazing sites with greater speed and efficiency.
Our Zodiac cruises are great for observing Glaciers, icebergs, Sea birds and marine life. In Antarctica visit the dense Penguin colonies and Walk with the Penguins.
In Arctic, Enjoy the immense beauty of Svalbard, where we cruise among whales, walruses, polar bears, and millions of sea birds; discover one of the world's most beautiful, wild, and pristine natural areas, and experience Inuit culture in magnificent Greenland; or experience an epic journey combining several locations, such as our Four Arctic Islands voyage to Svalbard, Jan Mayen, Greenland, and Iceland. All the itineraries and outdoor activities during each voyage are dependent on weather conditions, to ensure the safety of the guests onboard.
Avoiding disturbance of wildlife is paramount in these Polar regions. At any time only about 100 visitors are allowed ashore, excluding the expedition guides and leaders, with a maximum of 20 visitors for each guide. Albatros Expeditions is a member of IAATO (International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators), an industry regulatory body dedicated to ensuring socially and environmentally responsible tourism in Antarctica.
Our expedition cruise team consists of expedition leaders and staff, biologists, and professionals with extensive knowledge of Polar Regions and a passion for exploration.
