From Discovery and CruisingTo Advanced Mountaineering Expedition
Our experience of offering high quality, safe educational journeys for schools extends to the wilderness of Antarctica. We were one of the first educational travel companies in the world to offer a successful student adventure to Antarctica.
Antarctica is a special place and an ideal destination to conduct citizen science work. This otherworldly environment will place students among breathtaking frozen landscapes, rugged icy coastlines and towering mountains, stunning coves and islands, abundant wildlife and the seemingly endless expanse of the continental ice sheet.
Marvel at the majestic frozen landscapes of Earth's most pristine wilderness; see whales, seals, penguins and other Antarctic species at play; and watch as enormous icebergs are spectacularly '"calved'" into the ocean.
Our range of Antarctic adventures for students travel lightly aboard small vessels with a core focus on sustainability and minimal environment impact. There will be other non-students on the voyage which include research scientists and wildlife experts, photographers and fellow travellers with a shared interest and respect for this frozen wilderness.
Antarctica is certainly a dream destination however we have the options to help make it a reality for your school. Contact us to discuss this once-in-a-lifetime school group adventure.
From the service work in the school, to trekking and camping near the lake, through to the extraordinary opportunity to meet His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, and finally our visit to Agra and the Taj Mahal, each experience was thoughtfully curated and seamlessly delivered.

Our recent European tour with World Expeditions was, quite simply, an exceptional experience. From the outset, it was clear how much care had gone into planning this school tour: transitions between cities were smooth, the days were well paced, and adjustments were made seamlessly when needed, without any disruption to the overall experience.

What stood out most was their willingness to listen. They genuinely took feedback on board and continued to optimise our itinerary right up until the last minute to ensure we had the best possible experience. Nothing ever felt too much trouble, and their commitment to delivering a meaningful and well-run trip was evident throughout.

Joe Lodge, Wex Schools International risk manager, was also part of the World Expeditions Team, who accompanied our group, and he worked well with our staff to improve the safety and processes that make a school trip like this run smoothly. The risk management documentation was excellent too.

The trek provided great opportunities to build confidence, resilience, teamwork, and new friendships. It encouraged people to step outside their comfort zones and achieve things they may not have thought possible.

The World Expeditions Schools team provided outstanding support, managing planning, paperwork and Department of Education requirements with ease, while tailoring the program perfectly to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award.

Whether they were cooking incredible meals, leading us to waterfalls, helping us summit Mount Ossa, or showing us rivers to swim in along the way, they brought so much knowledge and enthusiasm to every moment.
