Why Polar Cruise with G?

Small ship = huge perks

With just 128 passengers and a 10:1 guest-to-expert ratio, our polar program is built to get you off the ship and into the wild — more often, and more meaningfully, than bigger ships ever could.

Exploration at its very best

Daily landings (conditions permitting) and expert-led outings take you into the heart of the polar landscapes — with historians, biologists, ornithologists, and geologists bringing every glacier, rookery, and fjord to life.

Top-notch value. No fluff.

Zodiac excursions, expert talks, gear, and warm hospitality are all included. Who needs butlers and helicopters? Not our travellers. And don’t just take our word for it — our polar cruises consistently earn our highest satisfaction ratings.

Come for the ice, stay for the people

A small-group atmosphere and fun, laid-back vibe create a real sense of community — with our experts, crew, and fellow travellers. For many, it’s one of the most unexpected (and unforgettable) parts of the entire trip.

Embrace the windswept beauty of the Scottish Isles

Cruise Scotland’s rugged coastlines past ancient castles, spotting puffins and basking sharks with expert guides, alongside like-minded travellers. Adventure and wildlife await — Braw indeed!

Kayaking

Nothing connects you to the blissful solitude and fragile beauty of the polar regions like paddling through them in a low-slung kayak. Kayaking excursions depend on the weather, but we’ll try our best to get you out as much as possible. Participants should come with a working knowledge of strokes, entries, and exits.

Camping in Antarctica

Experience the sounds of heaving ice, the fresh scent of the sea, and the crisp air of Antarctica in the polar night by camping out on the ice itself. We provide all the tents, warm sleeping bags, and other equipment.
