Arctic & Antarctica Photo Tours

View All

Back in 1996 Photo Safaris was the first company to ever charter a ship exclusively for an Antarctica Photo Tour. Never before had a cruise to Antarctica been designed with the unique needs of photographers at the center of all activities. Since then we’ve added similar photographers-only chartered cruises to other polar destinations, including Spitsbergen, Greenland, the Sub-Antarctic Islands, and more. We also offer numerous land-based tours to photograph the wildlife and scenery of the Far North and Far South. No other photo tour company has the combination of experience and knowledge that we have to deliver an unparalleled and productive photography trip to the polar regions.
