Journey to the edge of the world..

Expeditions, First.
Comfort, Always.
Extra Costs, Never.

“At Terra Nova, we long for the return of true expedition travel—where the focus is on the destination, not the ship. On the purity of the places we visit, not ticking boxes. Our journeys are immersive, respectful, and deeply human, aboard our truly unique fleet. Antarctica is what we do, day in and day out. This is our passion, and our sole focus. We step ashore. We get our boots dirty. We listen, we learn, and we leave as stewards.

Our small team shares a simple ethos: protect, conserve, and educate. This isn’t travel from a distance—it’s an authentic connection. Expedition first. Comfort always. Hidden costs never. If that resonates with you, come and join our family. Welcome home.”

- Greg Carter, Founder, Terra Nova Expeditions
