High Latitudes provide either a fully managed expedition support package taking care of all aspects of the voyage, or an advisory service to assist you in preparing for and running your own expedition. There are legal and environmental requirements associated with a voyage to most high latitude destinations and we can help you obtain the necessary permits and approvals.
Our advisory service would cover the suitability of your plans, the permit and environment assessments required and the necessary vessel modifications you should consider for a safe and successful trip.
Our further services can include:
• Detailed itinerary planning
• Application for permits and environmental assessments
• Project management of vessel modifications
• Bespoke cruising guides including chart lists, weather/ice information, etc.
• Provision of ice pilots, guides and specialist staff including naturalists and doctors
• Back up logistics including travel arrangements, provisioning and bunkering support
• Arrangement of insurance and medical/evacuation protocols
• Specialist equipment/clothing, spares and medical checklists
• Shore side backup throughout the expedition
