Join us in partnership with ORCA as a Citizen Scientist aboard our 2023/2024 Antarctica expeditions on World Navigator®. ORCA is a whale and dolphin conservation charity that works around the world with the mission of protecting the ocean through this special and exciting program.

Together with your fellow explorers and guided by an ORCA Ocean Conservationist, engage in hands-on workshops to gather scientific data that contribute to conservation and marine life protection efforts. Throughout your Antarctic journey, you will become a Citizen Scientist with the following program:

• Using ORCA’s OceanWatchers app, record environmental and sightings information to help discover how these wondrous creatures behave and move through the oceans.
• Learn how to take photos of whales and dolphins and use those pictures to identify individual cetaceans.
• Enjoy a range of enriching lectures, workshops and interactive classes hosted by your knowledgeable Ocean Conservationist, giving you a greater understanding of the importance of ocean conservation.

As your team of explorers help with ORCA’s work and research, you’re invited to deepen your connection with incredible marine animals, enhancing your appreciation for the beauty of the polar regions.

The Global Penguin Society’s clever acronym, GPS, provides a little hint at what they do. On select expeditions, join a GPS conservationist aboard an Antarctica expedition as they track, monitor, and inform vital conservation efforts for ensuring the future of the world’s penguin populations. Working in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Network – an organization that supports conservationists who ensure wildlife and people coexist and thrive – GPS’s mission is to protect all 18 species and their ecosystems in the Southern Hemisphere by generating sound science, management guidelines and education.
