Custom Small Ship Cruises to Antarctica

Fathom Expeditions operates custom small ship voyages and itineraries that are unique in many ways. Our trips combine superior food, wine and comforts onboard with grand nature, adventure, learning and historical experiences while onshore. A fleet of Zodiac landing boats are used to venture from the ship to shore two or three times per day. In the evening, we reposition the vessel so our guests can experience a new, exciting place daily. Generally, our cruising routes are chosen to maximize scenery and wonders as we travel from place to place. Our current trips both feature this style of travel which we feel is one of the best means of exploring polar wilderness destinations.

Each Fathom Expeditions journey follows a custom-built itinerary that has been prepared over a 14-month period by a team of experienced and accomplished Antarctic guides. They have personally been leading small ship voyages for over ten years including over 100 previous Antarctic trips. They use this indepth experience to maximize your travel rewards by enhancing daily activities, by ensuring you see the very best of each destination, by hand-picking our lecturer and guide teams and by creating modern exploration firsts without sacrificing comfort and safety. These special experiences last a lifetime and are part of the reason our trips have been voted the best in the world by National Geographic and others. As guides, our reward is your satisfaction.
