🌌 Everyone has heard of the northern lights, but did you know, that in the depths of Antarctica, there are aurora displays, just as spectacular and far more rarely seen than those in the North? In 2025, we're voyaging deep into the polar circle, chasing the southern lights and stunning southern skies. Dr. Tyler Nordgren and Dr. Julie Rathbun will join us, leading astronomy sessions, aurora spotting, onboard discussions, and presentations on the beauty of our world and the universe beyond. Hear from Dr. Nordgren as he prepares for this exciting adventure in our latest blog 👉 https://ow.ly/kp7W50T3JzQ
Over ons
Antarctica cruises * Arctic Cruises * Greenland Cruises * Svalbard Cruises * Polar Expeditions Oceanwide Expeditions is one of the pioneers in ship-based exploratory tourism in the Arctic and Antarctica. We organize expedition style cruises to the Arctic (Greenland, Svalbard) and North Atlantic, as well as cruises to the Antarctic and Sub-Atlantic Islands. We own, manage and operate the following vessels: m/v Janssonius (170 pax), m/v Hondius (170 pax), m/v Plancius (108 pax), m/v Ortelius (108 pax), and s/v Rembrandt van Rijn (33 pax). The vessels comply with highest international safety standards and allow our professional crew to navigate safely through pack-ice and remote narrow waterways. The size, capacity and capability of our small ships have proven to be a successful formula for exploring the remote regions for many years. Our expedition vessels offer a comfortable, friendly, intimate and informal atmosphere. Our ships are not luxurious cruise vessels, but accommodation and on-board life are cozy and comfortable. Our voyages are primarily defined as explorations and we spend as much time ashore as possible. We can be flexible, taking advantage of wildlife opportunities by using our zodiacs for both landings and cruises. Our knowledgeable guides assist on these outings, providing detailed information. This is supplemented by lectures on board which covers topics such as geology, wildlife and history. While cruising and hiking in the Polar regions, we are sure that you will become increasingly fascinated by these unique wildernesses, places of drama, wildlife, history and true emotion.

Last week, we landed on Bear Island, the southernmost island of the Svalbard archipelago. This remote spot is home to Bjørnøya Meteo, a Norwegian weather and former coastal radio station staffed by around 11 people year-round. The base commander told us that Ortelius was the first (and only) ship to visit this season, so they were delighted to see us! 📷 by Claudio Ghiglione

On our last Ortelius trip we completed a shoreline cleanup at the Seven Islands. At Isflakbukta, Phippsøya, we retrieved the large fishing net in the photo. On the second landing site at Parryøya we found more smaller pieces of debris — much more dangerous for marine life and the environment! Oceanwide's beach cleanups are important for the preservation of our polar environments and are extremely popular among our staff and guests. Interested in learning more about our cleanups?

Outside the world of geopolitics or even polar travel, it’s probably not common knowledge that Svalbard and Spitsbergen are one in the same. At least, depending on who you ask. But why this disagreement over something so easy to simplify? The answer lies, as with many other geographical oddities, in the tangles of history. Read more on our blog. 📷 by Elke Lindner

With tusks like theirs, it is easy to see why walruses are some of the most recognizable animals on the planet. They’re also among our favorite Arctic residents, populating the beaches of Spitsbergen and Greenland with their sizable, sleepy herds. Here are ten facts about the walrus (specifically the Atlantic walrus, which we see on our trips) taken from our website and combined with colorful clips of these beloved creatures.
