Editorial Policy
How we maintain independence, select operators, and ensure accuracy in our rankings.
Independence
This site is independently operated. No expedition cruise operator has paid for placement in our ranking, contributed content, reviewed our ratings before publication, or influenced our editorial conclusions in any way.
Operator Selection
We include operators who:
- Hold current IAATO membership in good standing
- Offer itineraries that explicitly include all three destinations — Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula — in a single voyage
- Have operated this route for at least two consecutive seasons
Advertising Policy
This site does not carry display advertising. We do not accept sponsored content, paid reviews, or promotional placements. All operator links are dofollow and unpaid.
Data Sources
Ratings are based on publicly available data: operator websites, IAATO membership records, Antarctic Treaty System publications, post-voyage review aggregators, and expedition program documents. Pricing data reflects publicly listed base-cabin rates and is verified at time of publication. Prices change; always confirm current rates directly with operators.
Update Schedule
The ranking is reviewed annually at the start of each Antarctic season. The current version reflects data as of June 2026.
Corrections
If you identify a factual error — incorrect ship capacity, IAATO status, or pricing — contact us at [email protected]. We will investigate and correct verified errors within 14 days.
