Life Onboard

Traveling to the polar regions is a unique experience, and so is every moment of your expedition cruise. Each day is packed with opportunities to discover something new and exciting. Whether it be a pod of whales greeting the ship, or a polar bear cub playing in the snow, or an iceberg being born from a massive glacier front – both the Arctic and Antarctica hold a wealth of pristine natural wonders. And if you are celebrating an anniversary, looking to elope or want to make a milestone birthday even more special, we at Poseidon Expeditions would love to help make it an occasion to remember.
 

Wedding
If you’re looking for an ultimate romantic escape or the most unusual place to get married, you might consider the polar regions as your wedding destination. An expedition cruise to the Arctic, Antarctica will have your honeymoon plans covered as well. Opt for a wedding ceremony in the polar wilderness, and the rest of your voyage will become a fantastic holiday to start off your married life.

The perfect location
You won’t need to spend hours choosing the perfect location – there is no better backdrop for a wedding than dramatic mountain peaks, icy castles of icebergs and glaciers, sparkling white landscapes and magical snow.

Your guestlist is taken care of
If you are getting married in Antarctica, most of the guests attending will be dressed for the occasion in their fines black-and-white attire: the curious penguins won’t miss a chance to witness your special moment. Up in the Arctic, a polar bear cub might make an appearance at the top of the hill to observe from afar. 

Dress code - formal or expedition-style
Getting cold feet is not an option here! You will most likely be sporting a pair of rubber Wellington-style boots, but, weather permitting, the look will be complete with a white dress or black suit. Our signature red Poseidon parka will not only keep you warm during the ceremony but will look perfect on the wedding pictures. After all, red is the color of love!

Wedding party of your dreams
The Sea Spirit is perfectly suited to host a just-married party. Your invited guests, fellow like-minded travelers and our expedition team will share your joy. Our onboard photographer will snap a perfect picture of the newlyweds. Later in the evening, you will have a celebratory meal in our restaurant, and your spacious suite will provide the much-needed comfort and privacy after a long day.

And if you’ve had a traditional ceremony back home before the cruise or maybe even several decades ago, there is still something very special in renewing your vows at a place where they become frozen in time.
 

Birthday

An unforgettable day in the polar regions
One thing is certain - nature will not be reserved with her gifts! The opportunities are abundant. Imagine camping under the stars in Antarctica, or kayaking near a pod of whales in the Arctic. Going for a hike in the flowering tundra of Svalbard and spotting a polar bear stalking the ice for seals in Greenland. Or watching the fluffy king penguin chicks play on the seal-crowded beaches of South Georgia. Every moment will be a special one with polar cruises offered by Poseidon Expeditions.

Birthday party - there will be cake!
And in the evening, you can celebrate with your cabin mates, travel partners or fellow travelers in the ship’s restaurant, bar or lounge area – your birthday cake will be taken care of. Afterwards, party in the bar, stay up late, treat yourself to a special dessert or hit the jacuzzi - this will be a day well worth remembering!
 

Anniversary

A day to remember
A Zodiac taking you through the maze of luminous icebergs, a sleepless night spent on deck under the mesmerizing northern lights, dramatic mountain landscapes or abundant marine animal encounters – there is no shortage of experiences to be had in the polar wilderness.

Save the date - choose the perfect departure
Poseidon Expeditions offers a range of departures almost all year long: we go to theArctic; May through September, and to Antarctica October through March.

Contact our polar advisers to inquire about your special date, and we will help you choose the perfect departure for it. Planning ahead is something that works really well for polar expedition cruises: you will get the best early booking deals and the most convenient flights!

Anniversary party
Our expedition ships will provide all the necessary amenities to end the day on a high note. So whether you have a milestone birthday coming up, a wedding anniversary or any other special occasion, traveling to the polar regions would be the perfect way to celebrate.
 

Corporate events

A single location with all the necessary amenities
For corporate parties, you usually have to look for a conference room to hold presentations and workshops, a restaurant with contemporary international cuisine, and a hotel to accommodate the participants after the event. Poseidon Expeditions’ m/v Sea Spirit has all that and more: an outdoor bistro, a club lounge, and a gym. Those who wish to spend their free time networking or socializing will enjoy the stylish bar, while the library provides peace and quiet for product planning and idea generation. 24-hour engagement is guaranteed!

Optional adventures for the whole team
Cruising aboard the 114-passenger m/v Sea Spirit may not be limited to sea days: we are open to discussing the possibilities for outdoor adventures, including landings, Zodiac excursions, and sea kayaking. The shared experiences will act as a great team-building exercise. Contact our polar advisers to work out the perfect corporate event for your group!
