Photography on an expedition ship, especially in remote and stunning locations like Antarctica, is an enriching activity that allows travellers to capture breathtaking landscapes, unique wildlife, and memorable journey moments. 

What you see on these trips can be so spectacular and humbling that with a camera, it would be easier to convey to people when you return or on your social media. 

One of our writers, a professional photographer and expedition team member, says it best when he notes that whether photography is your thing or not, there is a very high chance that you will be a total convert by the end of your cruise. 

There are reasons for this observation: wildlife encounters are almost guaranteed, and the scenery can be so spectacular that even an amateur snap with a phone can look like a stock photo. 

On expedition cruises, there is the added benefit that most are also accompanied by a professional, who will give tips and lectures and answer questions about techniques and equipment. It is an enriching experience to finish a day’s landings or zodiac tours and then enjoy a presentation of stunning photography from that same day.
