What Swoop travellers think about Polar Latitudes Expeditions

Polar Latitudes Expeditions trips scored 4.6/5 from 380 reviews

The expedition team's knowledge and expertise ensured we not only experienced Antarctica but learned a new appreciation for it.

Travelled: November 2025

Patricia Merrithew - Canada

The very best "team" with every member contributing knowledge, experience, pleasantness, and guidance, all of which with the greatest sincerity and passion for the mission without the usual zealousness of pushy environmentalists. I came away being educated and being much more appreciative of the challenges of preserving our pristine Antarctica.

Polar Latitudes is one of the smaller companies which meant that service they provided was very bespoke to each voyage. The guides interacted constantly with the guests onboard, and you get to know all of them well over the course of the trip. Everyone I talked to, from the staff at the front desk, to the doctor, to the crew loading and unloading the zodiacs was very helpful and seemed genuinely happy to answer questions.
