Small Ship Expedition Cruises
Antarpply Expeditions
The Last True Wilderness on Earth
Antarctica is the most pristine, exhilarating and beautiful place that you can imagine and is perhaps the last true wilderness area left on Earth – largely unchanged since explorers and whalers first landed on its inhospitable shores less than two centuries ago.
Antarpply Expeditions has specialized in small ship expedition cruises to Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands for over 15 years. Antarpply’s team has an enormous and varied Antarctic experience and all the voyages are designed to exceed your expectations and ensuring your highest safety onboard.
Their specialist team of international expedition leaders and lecturers are all extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and have a great love for nature. They are dedicated to the protection of the environment and will do their utmost to ensure that you have a voyage of a lifetime.
As an operator of IAATO (the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators), they are
committed to appropriate, safe and environmentally sound private-sector travel to the Antarctic. They operate all expeditions in accordance with IAATO guidelines and comply with all the relevant international regulations during navigation and shore visits.
Starting and ending in Ushuaia, their expeditions include many of the highlights of the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands. Enjoy comfortable accommodation, ample deck space, an open bridge policy and spacious public areas. They endeavor to make at least two landings per day in the area of the Peninsula, with a visit to at least one of the scientific stations to understand the work taking place on this continent.
