Cruise Directors make your trip "smooth sailing"

Your Vantage trip will be led by a seasoned Cruise Director who will ensure your comfort and satisfaction. Think of them as your onboard “host” — the person to turn to with questions about your itinerary, updates on the day’s activities, reservations for optional tours, and so much more.

From start to finish, Program Managers are there for you

Enjoy the services of a dedicated Program Manager to coordinate shore activities, organize entertainment programs, and oversee operations, including embarkation and disembarkation. When you’re joining us on a pre- or post-trip extension, your Program Manager will also join you to make sure your experience is top-notch from start to finish.

Guest & resident lecturers

Depending on your journey, we’ve handpicked these regional experts to join you and oversee your historical and cultural enrichment specific to your destinations. Through them, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of major chapters in world history and other in-depth subjects relevant to your travels. They’ll also accompany you on all shore excursions, serving as a real-time resource for questions and further insights to your locale. Plus, on our inaugural journeys, you will be joined by a guest lecturer.

Go bold alongside your expedition team in the White Continent

Your 17-member Expedition Team is the backbone of your expedition! These experienced and knowledgeable adventurers are well-versed in Antarctic explorations and will lead your daily expeditions and Zodiac landings in Antarctica. They’ll also be the ones to point out wildlife and other phenomena; lead you on hikes, treks, and other activities; and oversee all facets of your outings in Antarctica. On the ship, they’ll enhance your experience by providing lectures on geology, oceanography, history, and other topics specific to your journey.

In rugged regions, in-depth explorations await

In the same vein, your 5-member Expedition Team will provide the framework of your discoveries into more rugged regions such as Greenland and Iceland. Our experienced and knowledgeable team will guide your shore excursions as well as lead your soft adventures — including nature walks, hikes, kayaking, fishing, wildlife viewing, and more. They’ll also enhance your experience by providing relevant lectures on topics specific to your journey.
