Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica
The sub-Antarctic Falkland Islands/Malvinas and South Georgia are home to some of the most unique and abundant wildlife on earth. With beaches covered in fur seals, elephant seals, and hundreds of thousands of penguins, it’s one of the most jaw-dropping nature scenes you will ever experience. We’ll have ample time to explore the fascinating history of the area, dating back to the grandiose times of the ‘Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration’ of the late 1800s and early 1900s

Activities That Will Get You Fully Engaged With Antarctica and the Arctic

Every experience we offer on board and off, as well as pre- and post-voyage, has been designed with a single purpose in mind – to ensure that you have the most immersive adventure in these unforgettable corners of the world. Whether your explorer’s spirit calls you to kayaking, snowshoeing, camping, or cultural immersion, there’s an adventure activity that can bring you up close and personal with everything the polar regions have to offer. There are excursions over land and in the sky, a Citizen Science program where you can assist in meaningful environmental research, and for those ready to take the plunge, we offer two options: our always-popular polar plunge, and for the truly adventurous, our unforgettable polar wedding experience.

Whatever adventure you choose, our professional photography coaches are on board and eager to help you capture it all in epic fashion.

What makes a good expedition? It is a combination of its landings and the experiences onboard the ship. At Albatros Expeditions we are honored to have an amalgam of experts in our expedition team, from climatologists and geologists to renown photographers, all eager to share their adventures and knowledge with our guests.
Mudroom

Located on deck 3.

Polar Plunge

It sounds like a crazy thing to do, but there are actually a number of reasons why hurling oneself into freezing cold water is one of our top activities.

Did you know that cold dipping is a long-standing Scandinavian tradition that has numerous health benefits? Taking a plunge in the coldest of waters provides plenty of perks for your well-being, including reducing stress, boosting energy, improving your immune system, and relievi....

Snowshoeing / Hiking

Take in most of the unimaginable landscapes and fresh air by hiking in suitable locations! These guided hikes are perfect if you want to enjoy active sightseeing surrounded by nature; at times crossing streams, on uneven and rocky terrains and/or hilly areas.

Snowshoeing is an activity that allows you to hike across soft, powdery snow, reaching unique vantage points without the hassle of sinking into deep snow. Please note that this acti....

Kayaking

To experience the polar regions in a truly intimate way, there’s really no better seat than the one in your kayak, just inches above the water, navigating among icebergs and glacial ice dating back 30,000 years. Gliding through an otherworldly landscape with a small team, led by our expert guides and occasionally joined by playful wildlife, this is about as magical as it gets.

Photography

Zodiac Cruises
Zodiac boats are not only used for shuttling guests to/from land. Zodiac cruising is a great way to venture out and get even closer to some of the magnificent sights during your voyage. It is also great for wildlife spotting and for taking in the dramatic sights from up close. The Zodiac boats are perfect for cruising around in the Polar Regions, giving you the chance to see the world from a new and spellbinding point of view.
Camping

An Uninhabited Continent Opens Its Doors for One Incredible Night

What’s camping in Antarctica like? Long after most passengers are tucked away in their cabins, chances are you’ll still be lying awake, cozy in your sleeping bag, captivated by the ethereal sounds of gently lapping waves, creaking glaciers and perhaps the blow of a whale passing in the night.

The air seems even more pure than in the daytime, the scale of your ....

Citizen Science

Citizen Science on Every Voyage

Having a Citizen Science program on every voyage is an effort we pioneered, as the very first Antarctic operator to officially collaborate with The Polar Citizen Science Collective. We continue to team up with them on several projects, giving our passengers the chance to play a meaningful role in recording and better understanding the Antarctic ecosystem and the impact of climate change. This is par....

We ask that you show a deep respect for the unique nature and a....

We will provide security information, practical details regarding life onboard and introduce key personnel. You will be informed where the safety equipment is located and how it is used. Each cabin is equipped with lifejacke....

Accessibility

Our vessels feature elevators that service all floors, but due to periodic heavy weather and sea conditions, they are not operational at all times.

Please contact our Booking Team should you wish to discuss how we can accommodate you on board our vessels, should you be concerned about disabled access.

Smoking Policy

There is absolutely no smoking permitted anywhere inside the ship (including the balcony areas), on Zodiacs, or on landings – this includes e-cigarettes and vapes. International maritime law dictates that smoking on commercial vessels is permitted only in the designated smoking area; this location will be clearly identified during the Safety Briefing at the beginning of your voyage. Repeated non-compliance with our smoking policy will result i....

Electrical Outlets

The ship has a 220v / 50 Hz cycle system. Please check your appliances before use. 110-volt appliances require an adapter prior to use aboard the ship.

The electrical outlets on board Ocean Victory are the so called ‘F-type sockets’, round 2-pin, 220-240 V, grounded, used in continental Europe and Russia. They take C, E, and F-type 2-pin plugs.

Water
There are several water stations onboard Ocean Victory. Normally, water is not rationed, but we do advise our guests to pay attention to their water consumption.
Children
Due to safety precautions, children under 12 years of age will be taken into consideration on each landing. It is entirely at the Expedition Leader’s discretion to permit children on excursions and shore landings.
Age Restrictions

In general, our policy is that children must be at least 12 years old to participate in a Polar Latitudes Expeditions voyage. However, we may, on a case-by-case basis, accept children between the ages of 7-11 with additional screening and prior approval before booking, and the completion of our Child waiver by the parents/guardians. Please contact us if you wish to travel with a child under the age of 12.

Drones

The recreational use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drone type aircraft in the Arctic and Antarctic is currently prohibited by the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO) and the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators (IAATO). Because AECO and IAATO recognize the value of UAVs for certain commercial and scientific applications, Polar Latitudes Expeditions is currently permitted for the commercial use of UA....
