World Expeditions supports new Antarctic law

World Expeditions has been committed to voyages specially designed for minimum impact on the delicate frozen landscape for more than a decade, carrying a maximum of 100 passengers aboard ice-strengthened expedition vessels.

An Associate Member of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO), World Expeditions already supports the Antarctic Treaty, which aims to regulate the high number of tourists in the region, and employs experts to fully brief all passengers on how to reduce impact on their surroundings.

World Expeditions guests venture onshore in small numbers: they have optimum time to enjoy unforgettable walks, surrounded by snow-capped peaks, giant tabular icebergs and crystal blue seas, and there are spontaneous opportunities for wildlife encounters, such as whale watching and walking among penguin rookeries and seal colonies.

World Expeditions offers to eco-conscious travellers a selection of voyages to the coldest and driest continent on earth– including:

- World Expeditions’ 10 or 11 day Antarctic Highlights cruise.  Cabin prices start from a truly competitive US$3350. (Some cabins discounted by 10%; save up to £1025) will witness prolific wildlife, dramatic landscapes and huge icebergs on a tour that is committed to maximising enjoyment without compromising the unspoiled natural world.

- World Expeditions also offers the unique 14-day Weddell Sea and Antarctic Peninsula “In search of the Emperor Penguin and King Penguin” cruise (Discounted by 20%; was from US$7,950/£5,031; now from US$6,360/£4,025; save £1006), where we set foot on the Antarctic continent itself and discovers the most wildlife-rich part of Antarctica, whales & seals, sea birds and our aim to see all 8 species of Antarctic penguins before concluding our voyage in Port Stanley.

Quoted lead-in prices are based on triple-share cabins, including all meals, excursions, activities, use of ship facilities and services of specialist expedition staff and guides. Flights are not included but can be arranged by World Expeditions on request.
