Our Dedicated Partnerships: The ships we charter in the polar regions boast clean-ship certifications by Bureau Veritas and exceed every environmental protocol, including those set by the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) and the Antarctic Treaty, the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO), the National Science Foundation, and the Environmental Protection Agency. A&K has been a fully vested member of IAATO since 1992 and AECO since 2012, and proactively supports efforts made by both organizations in each polar region.

It Starts with the Right Ships: Our commitment to sustainability has been a top priority since our first voyage in 1991, and we exclusively charter ships that mirror our passion for the environment. Each vessel is equipped with the latest eco-friendly technology, including energy-efficient engines; reduced fuel consumption using only environmentally compliant fuel types; and computerized dynamic positioning systems that minimize the need to anchor in fragile marine reserves. Our chartered ships also maintain 100% traceability of all waste, ensuring nothing ends up in the waters or on land.

Sustainability Where It Matters: A&K includes a complimentary reusable water bottle in every stateroom. Most importantly, our guests can sail with the assurance that they’re visiting these destinations in an ecologically responsible way, and that we are working diligently to preserve these places for future generations.
