Our People

Antarctic Expeditions was established and is operated by expedition leaders. We are not just another sales company but rather a travel company of experienced specialists in expedition and small ship cruising. This is our passon, what we know best and in turn what we recommend for our guests. After more than 20 years creating and leading expeditions aboard many of the ships found on this website and in our brochure, we have learned first-hand what works and what doesn't, our experience makes us uniquely placed to find the voyage that best suits you.

Tomasa's travel wishlist is long... but on the top of the list is voyaging to the Arctic (having been to Antarctica recently she would like to compare polar experiences), in January 2019 Tomasa travelled to Antarctica which "was an amazing opportunity and it has just made me want to experience more of the world on a expedition ship.
