The crew has been there many times before, but every voyage is a new adventure. Carrying 100 guests, the collective energy on the ship is different for each time. Only one thing is certain. The ship is vibrating with excitement when we depart, bound for the frozen continent.

This video is not from a guest’s perspective, but from the perspective of us lucky enough to be working down here. Our purpose is to bring guests to locations where they are likely to have life changing experiences. In the process, we get to connect with the elements through our precious vessel. Navigating through fields of ice, side to side with marine mammals of the most majestic designs.

To experience Antarctica for the first time is quite overwhelming. We are at the mercy of the elements but have many tools at hand to make the best out of the cards that we are dealt. The dynamic nature of the expeditions makes every trip memorable, also for the crew.

The crew. This is our strength. No matter how great of a ship you have. How pleasant the life at sea will turn out to be, all comes down to the crew. Among our crew we have those who have been here since the very start, back in 2003. There are many blood bonds on board and the rest of us share a large part of our life here as one large family. The Orion family. Covering the ship with a warm blanket made out of good vibrations.

When we are apart, we miss each other. Right now, we also miss Antarctica!

I am also thankful to all the guests that travel with us. It has been a pleasure getting to know many of you and to have shared all this adventure with you!
