In this world shaped by ice and light, encounter iconic wildlife: polar bears, walruses, whales, seals, arctic foxes, and reindeer thrive in a pristine and spectacular environment. As you sail, the fascinating history of whalers, trappers, and great Arctic explorers intertwines with the sighting of some of the Arctic’s largest seabird colonies.

A 100% French-speaking tour led by a team of tour guides and a Grands Espaces expedition leader.
For European and Swiss nationals:

You’ll be traveling to the polar regions, so it’s important to be properly equipped. You’ll be spending time outdoors and aboard Zodiacs, where you may get wet from rain or sea spray.
We recommend:
To fully enjoy wildlife viewing as well as the scenery, we strongly recommend that you bring a good pair of binoculars.
For great wildlife photos, we recommend a lens with a focal length of at least 200mm.

The Heritage Discoverer—formerly the Exploris One—was specially designed to navigate polar waters. It perfectly combines a spirit of adventure with exceptional comfort, along with outstanding personalized service that will make every expedition truly unique.
Its cabins and suites are among the most spacious in the global fleet of expedition ships. The ship is equipped with Zodiacs, allowing for frequent shore excursions—sometimes several times a day—depending on the itinerary and sailing conditions. On board, a team of scientists and tour guides share their passions.
