By Alexandra Coulton


G Adventures is bringing its ‘little red ship’ – G Expedition – back to the water with up to 20 per cent savings for travellers looking to book the ultimate bucket list trip this upcoming 2022/23 Antarctic season.

After two and a half years since the global pandemic forced the ship out of service, the G Adventures team and crew are stoked to be bring back its program of life-changing activities onboard, while showing travellers one of the world’s most remote and pristine regions.

Sean Martin, managing director for G Adventures in Australia and New Zealand, said the ship’s program is designed to teach travellers the importance of environmental protection, while at the same time introducing them to the beauty of Antarctica’s landscape and fascinating wildlife.

“While onboard G Expedition in Antarctica travellers participate in the ship’s long-standing citizen science projects and onboard education program to help them make the most of their Antarctic expedition,” he said.

“We also have a ‘photographer-in-residence’ onboard to help travellers tell a visual story about their adventure and to share their learnings when they come home as they ultimately become custodians of the oceans.

“Our onboard education program includes lectures on the conservation of birds, marine mammals, marine wildlife and ecosystems – as well as global climate change and its impact on the world – all delivered by our team of scientific experts, or Scientists in Residence, who facilitate the talks.”

Martin said G Adventures expedition staff also collect data from points in Antarctica where researchers struggle to acquire information.

“With bucket list adventures high on travellers’ lists, this a great time to snap up a deal and head to one of the most incredible places on the planet. And for those who can’t travel this year, our 2023 / 2024 dates are now also live to book,” Martin added.

Travellers can save up to 20 per cent on this season’s expedition trips, when booked before 29 September 2022, for travel between 22 October 2022 and 13 March 2023.
