Let’s find your trip.
Hi, I’m Jud Bartlett. The photo at the top of this page is from my first trip to Antarctica back in 2018. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of travelers find and book their small-ship expeditions to Antarctica and South Georgia. My aim is to guide you through the process of planning your trip in a way that’s fun, fair and free of pressure.
Some photos from my trips to Antarctica. Can you tell which were taken with my iPhone?
What some of my treasured clients would like you to know:

When you’re ready, here are three ways I can help:
THE SECOND OPINION
Who you are:
Almost there.
You’re trying to make a final decision. Maybe you have lingering questions about the ship or company, are trying to decide on which cabin, or are worried that you’ve missed something. We’ll talk through your questions so you feel confident that you’re making an informed choice.
OPTIONS & AVAILABILITY
Who you are:
In the thick of it.
You prefer to do all of your own planning and booking, but need help identifying the ships and trips that meet your criteria or you want to get current cabin availability without sales pressure. We’ll talk through your parameters and desires and I’ll provide current availability on your selected trips.
THE FULL EXPERIENCE
Who you are:
Ready to get going.
A trip to Antarctica has been your dream, and you’ve done some research, but you want an expert to help you from start to finish. You’re not in a rush and want to take the time you need to review brochures, read itineraries and have in-depth conversations to find exactly the trip you’re looking for.
None of these sound familiar? Let me know who you are!
