🌍 In honor of World Cleanup Day, we're highlighting one of our favorite activities in the Arctic – shoreline cleanups 💙

On some of our voyages, we offer guests the chance to help clean up Arctic shores, where debris from the modern world is carried by ocean currents, threatening this fragile ecosystem. While we strive to leave no trace, we're also committed to removing any foreign objects that don’t belong here.

Join us in keeping the Arctic clean and pristine – because protecting the environment is a responsibility we all share! 🌿

The tale of Franklin's lost expedition has gone down in history as perhaps the most well-known of many failed attempts to discover and navigate the Northwest Passage, high in the Canadian Arctic.

However, the mysterious circumstances surrounding the loss of HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, as well as the 129 men aboard, continue to fascinate, terrify, and inspire to this day.

We're having a lazy day, resting, enjoying the company around us, and basking in the glimmers of sunshine, just like these walruses!

It was a misty, beautiful morning yesterday in Greenland!

Nowhere are the colors and light quality of an Arctic autumn showcased better than the fjords, mountainsides, and strikingly dramatic coastline of Greenland.

We’re loving every second of our time in this truly special part of the world. Every inch is picture-perfect.

Good morning from Vikingebugt!

This beautiful area in Scoresby Sund, Greenland, is known for its impressive basalt columns. Today, they were shrouded in mist, which rolled away slowly as the sun rose, creating dramatic photo opportunities!

As we weaved between icebergs in the Zodiacs, we spotted several polar bears resting in the distance - the perfect end to a beautiful autumnal Arctic morning!

Greenland never fails to amaze us! A few days ago, we were greeted by the mist at Jytte Havn, but by the afternoon, the skies cleared up and we could go for a breathtaking hike. We were lucky enough to spot musk oxen in the wild and explore the fascinating remains of a Thule settlement. What a day!

Polar exploration is synonymous with the 19th and 20th centuries. But as far back as the 16th century, English explorers and sailors were charting and claiming parts of the far Arctic for the English Crown.

The polar reputation of one, Martin Frobisher, was closely tied to the promise of immense riches and the fabled Northwest Passage. As it turned out, however, Frobisher's quest in the Canadian Arctic quickly became an embarrassing fool's errand.

How many polar bears make a fantastic morning in the Arctic? Our guests are usually amazed with one, but on a recent trip to Svalbard, we spotted an amazing six polar bears during one Zodiac cruise.

There's a reason why Svalbard is renowned as the realm of polar bears. They may seem cute and cuddly; our guests were treated to some heartwarming displays of sleeping bears, and an amusing call of nature, but don't be fooled. The King of the Arctic is a fearsome predator - best viewed from a distance.

🚶 Hiking in the Arctic is one of our favorite ways to experience the incredibly diverse landscapes of Svalbard and Greenland, and a long hike takes this experience to the next level!

A long hike, covering around 15km and taking you higher and further from our usual landing sites and walking routes along the coast, is the ultimate way to get up close and personal with the Arctic and all of its life, colors, and landscapes.

The grandeur of witnessing immense icebergs, a sight set against rugged, snow-capped mountains, is a spectacle that, once seen, will never be forgotten!

At Sydkap, an especially impressive landing site for spotting icebergs in Scoresby Sund, Greenland, hiking to better vantage points allows us to get amazing views of vast flotillas of ice—sometimes dwarfing our vessels!

As ice calves away from the nearby Daugaard Jensen glacier, bergs become grounded here, too large to float out to sea. This offers fantastic photography opportunities before these icy giants float away.

Our Story

Pioneers of ship-based polar expeditions, inventors of Basecamp Antarctica, and the first tour operator to launch cruises to the remote island of Spitsbergen, Oceanwide Expeditions has provided once-in-a-lifetime trips to one-of-a-kind locations since 1993.

We operate our own fleet of ice-strengthened vessels, among which is the world’s first-registered Polar Class 6, the most structurally fortified and technologically advanced civilian vessel of its kind.

Emphasizing maximum daily outings and utmost possible encounters with the exotic polar wildlife, Oceanwide Expeditions takes you off the ship and into the action as much as possible, getting you closer to the heart of polar regions than any other tour operator.
