Some of the Community Programs We’re Engaged In
Beach Clean-Up in Ushuaia Our ground team works with civic organizations in regularly-scheduled clean-up efforts on local beaches, one of the many ways we participate in local efforts to serve the community. Ship Visits We organize ship visits for a number of local groups, ranging from primary and secondary school students to local authorities, with presentations tailored to their educational needs, career aspirations, and political support. Home Visits with Inuit Communities In an effort to create better understanding of native cultures, and enrich the overall travel experience for our guests and communities we visit, we arrange visits with Greenland community members, who welcome guests into their homes, typically with tea, sweets, and a bit of local lore.
Middle School Challenge with Escuela Julio Verne In this year-long competition, students competing in teams of two are tasked with creating a presentation that is Antarctica-themed, and judged for both its creativity and scientific insight. Winning team receives an internship on a voyage to Antarctica. Career Studies with Universidad de Tierra del Fuego In this post-degree program in development with Polar Latitudes Expeditions, students will have an opportunity to apprentice aboard our ships, where they’ll learn about career opportunities in the polar cruise industry. Supporting Rinconcito Del Fin De Mundo De Ayuda Y Contención We offer support to local women in need, through a range of initiatives, including local events and onboard auctions and raffles to raise money for clothing, food and school supplies for kids.
