One Ocean Expeditions has been developing sustainable tourism for over a decade and is continually innovating when creating new itineraries, introducing visitors to some of the most unspoiled places on earth with programs that focus on education, science, history, arts & culture, and exploration. Our commitment to our guests runs deep, with a staff -guest ratio of 1:4 ensuring that guests receive unparalleled service with an uncompromising focus on safety. With trip activities ranging from sea kayaking to snowshoeing, we are committed to off ering adventures that are tailored to each guest’s individual interests. One Ocean Expeditions operates purpose-built ice-class vessels designed for expedition-style exploration, with internal stabilizers to ensure guest comfort. Our voyages take place in ecologically sensitive regions, and One Ocean Expeditions takes every step to minimize our impact on wildlife and natural habitats. We have implemented responsible waste management, use only clean-burning, low-emission marine fuel, and have adapted our sail plans to reduce our fuel consumption and emissions.

As an industry leader, One Ocean Expeditions is committed to supporting local economies, cultural heritage, and community development in the regions we travel. We are an important tourism partner to the many remote and isolated regions we visit, from the Canadian Arctic to the Falkland Islands. We focus on maintaining strong partnerships and collaborating with local governments, industry associations, and tourism operators. Itineraries are designed to maximize integration into communities, including guided local tours and visiting local hand-made arts and crafts markets. Through ‘The One Ocean Foundation’, we have developed community outreach programs in partnership with established organizations, and have enabled millions of dollars of fi nancial support to programs focused on food security, recreation and sport, health, science, and youth education.

One Ocean Expeditions facilitates world leading oceanographic and marine mammal research, providing more than 120 days per year of ship time for accredited science projects. Through partnerships including the Vancouver Aquarium, Oceanites, and UC Santa Cruz Institute of Marine Sciences, expert scientists conduct their research during expedition cruises in the Arctic, Antarctica, and all places in-between. Data collected provides proprietary insight to universities and scientifi c organizations to directly support our understanding of climate change, infi ltration of microplastics into the ocean, as well as wildlife migration and population tracking. Exclusive to One Ocean Expeditions, scientifi c research projects deliver an engaging and educational experience for all passengers onboard, as scientists work alongside our guests to collect and analyze data during each voyage.
