Charter a Fully Customized Polar Voyage

When you book a charter on one of our polar vessels, our team will work closely with you to curate a unique and fully customized experience that allows you to discover the polar regions privately with only your hand-picked guests, from events, conferences, incentive travel, or special interest groups.

Together, we will shape your itinerary to your liking, including your on- and off-ship activities, entertainment, food and beverage. Upon requests, we even provide specific foods such as Indian cuisine complete with a trained chef.
