Faultless service, as always in our experience. We knew the ship and even the cabin beforehand, but great to have Swoop’s help in setting it up and talking us through the options for the choice of voyage and extras. Read the full review

Reasons to choose Swoop
1. We know the Arctic
As a team we have over 50 years' experience in the Arctic. As polar specialists, we’re lucky enough to visit the Arctic (and Antarctic) every year, so we know the strengths and weaknesses of every vessel and the ins and outs of every trip.
What this means for you:
We’ll save you time by guiding you through the maze of options, as well as giving you first-hand recommendations for where to go, when to travel and how to get there.
2. We offer you incredible choice
Northern Lights
We work directly with a handpicked stable of outstanding Arctic operators, so we can offer you a choice of the best small ship cruises, as well as a mix of outstanding land-based trips.
What this means for you:
Whatever kind of adventure you're looking for, Swoop can help. We'll work with you to plan your perfect expedition: one that suits both your budget and appetite for adventure.
3. We're not biased towards any expedition operator, vessel or voyage
We are 100% independent and have no commitment to anyone but you.
What this means for you:
We'll listen to what you want from your trip and suggest carefully selected ideas based on your exact requirements. We don't charge for our advice and you'll pay no more or less than if you booked directly with the operator (more below about how we make our money).
4. We'll keep you informed & safe
When you travel with Swoop, you can expect to receive a lot of advice and support in the run up to and during your trip.
What this means for you:
We’ll make sure you’re 100% ready and prepared for your big trip, with regular contact from your dedicated trip coordinator. And when travelling, Swoop maintains a 24/7/365 back-up hotline if you need our assistance. Our many years of travel planning experience means we know where to look for solutions when travel gets complicated. We’ll have your back.
More about Swoop
Swoop takes people on adventures to the ends of the earth. Patagonia, Antarctica and the Arctic are all remote, wild and awe-inspiring in their own unique way. We have the knowledge, relationships and experience to create a trip worthy of these destinations, that also matches our customers’ dreams, budget and appetite for adventure.
We’re a passionate, dedicated and spirited bunch of specialists who love the outdoors. We care deeply about our destinations and want to protect them for future generations to explore.
Swoop says
The price you pay for booking a trip or voyage with us is no more and no less than if you were to book directly with the operator. We help Arctic operators to market themselves and their voyages to the international market and when you book with us they will pay us a small commission.
As polar specialists, we'll save you time by helping you find the perfect expedition. You'll benefit from our free, impartial and expert advice.
