Dear Traveler,
Over the years I have had many conversations with colleagues
about how to combine the best elements of polar travel, and
in 2010 a group of like-minded polar professionals and I took
these conversations a step further, and set out to create a new
kind of company.
We decided early on that our mission would be to provide
Antarctic travelers with “best in class” experiences. To that
end we sought out the best guides, naturalists, and expedition
crew members we had worked with over the years, and began
persuading them to join us. At the same time we began
an intensive search for the best possible vessel. There are
many ways to encounter the Antarctic: From the deck of a
small expeditionary ship, in a Zodiac or a kayak, or camping
overnight along the shore. Our goal was to acquire a ship
that would act as a platform for these experiences without
sacrificing the comfort and ease that you would enjoy at a fine
boutique hotel.
I’m thrilled to say that Polar Latitudes has become the company
we envisioned. Our vessels, the Hebridean Sky & Island Sky
boast a level of comfort and safety unmatched in polar waters.
Our world-class team has developed programs for both first-
time visitors and those returning for a deeper exploration, and
our onboard staff stands ready to fulfill their mission, to create
and lead superior polar expedition cruises with a focus on you,
our guest.
On the following pages you’ll find the particulars of what makes
Polar Latitudes’ voyages unique. I hope they will inspire you
to join us. Our partners will be happy to provide you with
further details.
Sincerely,
John McKeon
President | Polar Latitudes

Our Citizen Science program not only provides academic researchers access to much-needed data, it also serves to educate passengers on the delicate ecology of the White Continent, and brings them a deeper understanding of, and appreciation for, this unique destination. Guests on all Polar Latitudes voyages are invited to participate in a variety of hands-on activities that support important, current research projects in four major disciplines: Oceanography, Glaciology, Ornithology and Marine Biology.
