Alex BurridgeManaging Director

In 2002 I undertook my first voyage to the High Arctic (Svalbard/Spitsbergen). I’ve been fortunate to join several voyages including, what is likely the ultimate

Arctic journey, a voyage to the North Pole & Franz Josef Land. My experience and knowledge gained whilst working for several Polar ship operators, allows us to offer expert, independent, advice to ensure your trip south really is as special as it should be.

Cinzia Mucciante Co-owner

I recently returned from the Canadian High Arctic (Baffin Island and Greenland) – I struggle to find words to describe just how

amazing the trip was. The scenery, the wildlife, the expedition crew and the ship were all amazing. I didn’t realise just how powerful the ice would be, massive glaciers and near Illulisat thousands of icebergs.

Hayley Crowden Polar Specialist

In 2015 I realised a lifelong ambition of travelling to Antarctica.

In 2017 I was fortunate enough to follow up with

a voyage to Spitsbergen (Svalbard), where the highlight would have to be seeing my first Polar bear, and what a sighting it was.

Jennifer Boyd Polar Specialist

My inaugural cruise to Antarctica was in 2004, the experience was beyond all of my expectations.Magnificent glaciers, beautiful icebergs,

impressive mountains and the wildlife encounters all contribute to the allure of the Antarctic continent. The second time round I experienced kayaking and camping on the ice as well finally experiencing the polar plunge.

Alana Lewthwaite Polar Specialist

My experience in Antarctica can be described as nothing short of amazing. Taking a 2 hour flight from Punta Arenas, Chile in a purpose built BAe-146

plane to King George Island in the South Shetlands. From King George Island, it was straight onto a Zodiac to board the waiting MV Ocean Nova, a 68-passenger ship with all the amenities needed for an exciting journey along the Antarctic Peninsula.

Rachel Callus Polar Specialist

In March 2017 I was lucky enough to visit Antarctica, South Georgia & Falkland Islands on-board the Luxury/Expedition ship Sea Spirit. It was fantastic

– mind blowing actually (occasionally literally – the winds down South have nothing to stop them). Nature lovers, history buffs, geology enthusiasts – every one of them will be overwhelmed by what they see it really was a trip of a lifetime and an experience of my life. I’d love to share with you my new-found experiences.

expedition SHIPs

Generally expedition ships have a greater emphasis on maximising time off the vessel or out on deck than on a larger more ‘luxury’ ship. This is helped by most having fewer than 100 guests, hence all guests can go ashore at the same time. On most days an Expedition ship will offer two off ship excursions. The

expedition team works closely with the ship’s captain and crew to deliver a high level of service and a flexible approach which means they can react to local circumstances; like a group of feeding whales, if possible

they will stop and launch the zodiacs. The cabins are comfortable, the food of a very high standard.

An expedition client is someone who wants to maximise their opportunities to get off the ship and learn. Guests onboard are of all ages however you will be physically

able to climb some relatively steep stairs and get in and out of a Zodiac.

expedition-luxury SHIPs

As the name suggests these ships are a hybrid of an Expedition Ship and a Luxury Ship. Some are small ships with close to 100 guests and can offer two landings a day and focus on maximising opportunities for exploring as on an

expedition vessel but with the added comfort of having larger, more comfortable cabins and common areas. Those with up to 200 guests generally offer one off ship excursion a day (largely due to time factors associated with

the 100 passenger ashore limit) and still have an adventurous soul. Generally cabins are larger or perhaps the ship is newer than an Expedition ship. Meals are a mix of buffet and served courses and the cuisine is of a very high standard.

The new ship can accommodate 199 guests on Arctic and Antarctica cruises with exclusively outside cabins, almost all of which have their own balcony or french balcony. There are 3 first class restaurants on board as well as a spa, fitness centre, pool and multiple bars and lounges to help you relax and unwind after a busy day of exploring all the Arctic has to offer.

The “Victory” is a new (launched in 1993) generation ship, an upgrade of the Arktika-class. The spoon-shaped bow of the “Victory” is designed for greater icebreaking ability and makes the ship capable to force its way through 2.5 meters thick ice fields.

The 14 day itinerary includes a mandatory transfer package which includes: pre and post voyage hotel accommodation in Helsinki as well as flights from Helsinki to Murmansk and transfers to and from the airport.

Icebreaker ships are differentAll of the other ships in this document have ‘ice-strengthened’ hulls, of slightly varying standards,

and broadly speaking they are all capable and safe for the voyages they offer.

An icebreaker is heavier, stronger and more powerful, they also have a different bow shape. An ice-strengthened ship cannot make it all the way to the North Pole, the multi-

year sea ice is far too thick only an ice-breaker can make it to the top of the world.

One of the most powerful ships in the world – the 50 Years Of Victory.

The ship has been designed with a double hull and a spoon-shaped bow. The shape of the vessel increases icebreaking capabilities and the hull is coated with polymer paint to reduce friction. She is an upgraded version of the Arktika Class icebreaker fitted with a digital automated control system. The ship has a helipad suitable for a MI-2 or KA-32 helicopter.

The ship’s propulsion plant includes two nuclear reactors: one to provide power and the other kept in standby mode.

The icebreaking is assisted by the air bubbling system and water ballast located in between the inner and outer hulls. The air bubbling system can deliver 24m³/s of water from jets to

9m under the surface. The vessel can break ice while sailing forward or backward.

Construction: The construction of the ship began in October 1989 and was finally completed in the beginning of 1993.

luxury SHIPsThese luxurious ships combine more traditional-style cruising with an Arctic adventure. They offer large, very comfortable cabins with en-suite facilities; many suites have private balconies. Excellent

cuisine options are available on board. Zodiac dinghies and an expedition team enable you to explore the Arctic and come home to an exquisite ship. A luxury ship puts greater emphasis on the on-board

experience. On-board the larger (200 guest) luxury vessels there are limitations on the number of landings made each day as at most sites there is a 100 person limit of people ashore at the one time.

OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION

NEXT STEPS Please call 1300 323 194 or email [email protected] one of our specialists to discuss your ideal Arctic adventure.We enjoy discussing your plans for a trip to the High Arctic, we’ll ask a number of questions including; what style or size of ship (both of which effect your experience), when and how long a voyage, preferred cabin type, do you want a fly-cruise and do you have specific interests e.g. wildlife must see Polar bears, or want to see walrus.

Once we have a good idea of your interests, timings, including budget, we will suggest the voyages/ships we believe best suit your requirements. Once you are happy we will hold a cabin/berth (usually for 5-7 days) during which time a deposit is due (ranging from 20% of the voyage price to a fixed fee of $2,500 – it varies by ship/operator). The balance of payment varies between 90 and 120 prior to departure (we’ll confirm the ship specific terms at time of booking).

ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTSWe can book all your flights, pre- and post-cruise accommodation and transfers (if needed), and any additional travel arrangements. A non-refundable deposit of 20% of the total cost of these arrangements or $550.00 per person, whichever is the greater, is required to proceed.

Visas/Entry FeesMost countries require you to travel with a passport that has no less than 6 months remaining validity. For visa requirements please check with us or your travel agent. Australian passport holders do not currently require a visa for Australian passport holders require a visa for Norway (Svalbard), Denmark (Greenland) or Iceland.Canada have introduced an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) program. Australians now need to obtain an online authorization before flying to Canada. A fee of $CA7 is payablefor processing an application for an electronic travel authorization. A visa is required for Russian Far East voyages. You will be provided with a ‘letter of invitation’ which should be included when applying for your Russian visa.

Health & VaccinationsAn Arctic trip may be somewhat strenuous at times and it is important that you are in reasonably good health with a high level of mobility, able to get in and out of Zodiacs on the excursions and to complete emergency evacuation procedures unassisted. No particular vaccinations are required to travel to the Arctic.

Required cruise documentationOnce your booking is deposited and confirmed, you will be required to complete a number of forms providing personal and medical information, arrival departure details and, if applicable, adventure option waivers, gear rental requests, etc. Depending on the cruise operator, you will either receive these as hard copy forms to be returned to us or to your travel agent or will be provided with an online link directly to the cruise operator. All completed information must be received or entered online no later than 90-120 days prior to your travel date.

ACCOMMODATION & TRANSFERSWe require all clients to arrive in starting point often no later than the night before the voyage departs. Some operators include a pre- and/or post-voyage night in their voyage cost, along with an arrival transfer to your hotel, while others do not. At the end of the cruise, most operators include a group transfer from the ship to the airport or into the town centre. If accommodation and/or transfers are not included in your voyage cost, or if you would like to spend extra nights in the city prior to your cruise and perhaps enjoy some tours and activities, we are able to book all your additional arrangements.

What do we mean by a ‘small ship’? In simple terms a ship that can land all of its passengers at one time (you do not have to wait), which in the Arctic this means those ships with a maximum of 120 guests.

Most ships offer kayaking options for 16-20 guests, as they are not going ashore they are not included in the 100 passenger total; hence ships with up to 120 total guests fit into this ‘small ship’ category.

SMALL – Less than 121

Whilst in ‘cruising’ terms a ship with less than 240 guests would normally be considered small, in the Arctic those with 150-240 are considered large as they cannot land all of their guests at one time. If all guests wish to go ashore then it is likely that, compared to a 100 passenger ship, these vessels will either visit fewer sites in a day, or spend less time ashore at any sites visited. Some Expedition/Luxury category ships may run simultaneous zodiac cruises and landings and then offer clients the chance to swap. Many Luxury ships with 200 or more guests make one landing per day. It is in part why the on-board part of a luxury Arctic cruise is of greater importance; as you spend more time on the ship.

LARGER – 151 to 240

These ships cannot land all of their guests at one time, some of the guests will have to wait before they can go ashore. That said they only have 30 or 40 more guests to take ashore (excluding any kayakers).

Often ships of this size will also offer a ‘zodiac cruise’ either as an alternative to, or prior to, going ashore. This means you don’t necessarily have to wait on the ship; you may have a choice to go ashore, to enjoy a zodiac cruise or both. Of course if all 150 guests wish to go ashore it will take more time to allow everyone to do so. This will effect either; the number of sites you visit or the total time you spend at each site.

MID-SIZED – 122 to 150

ship sizeThe size of the ship, in conjunction with the style of operation (Expedition, Expedition/Luxury or Luxury), has an effect on your experience.

There are many valuable Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO) Guidelines here are just four;• Do not land more than 100 passengers in the same general area outside settlements,

unless site specific guidelines states different numbers.• The guide to visitor ratio must not exceed 1:20 outside settlements unless site specific guidelines

states differently, and must be lower if local conditions and regulations require.• No disturbance distance: The principle is that we will avoid disturbing the animals. That does not mean that we will move

forward until we see a reaction, and then stop. The principle is that we shall avoid provoking a reaction in the first place• Leave no lasting signs of your visit
