Hello! I’m Jasmine French – Your Polar Travel Expert

Hey there! I’m Jasmine, and I’m completely mad about the polar regions. Since 2014, I’ve been lucky enough to turn my passion for Arctic and Antarctic expedition cruising into my career, helping fellow adventurers just like you to discover these incredible parts of our world.

A Bit About Me

I’ve been fortunate to hop aboard more than 30 polar expeditions (and counting!), experiencing the kind of moments that leave you speechless. Think midnight sun glittering on Svalbard’s glaciers, or penguins putting on their own comedy show on an Antarctic cruise. All these amazing experiences help me plan the perfect polar adventure for you.

The Official Bits

Yes, I’ve got all the proper UK travel agent qualifications (the certificates are hanging on my wall to prove it!). But what really counts is the brilliant relationships I’ve built with the best polar expedition companies over the years. This means I can match you with exactly the right cruise line for your dream trip.

What Makes Me Different

Well, I’ve actually been there, done that, and probably got several t-shirts (though you’ll usually find me in proper polar gear!). I’ve kayaked through Greenland’s ice fields, sailed the Northwest Passage, and spent more hours than I can count watching & photographing polar bears go about their day. I know which ships have the comfiest cabins, when to visit specific spots, and all those little insider tricks that turn a brilliant trip into an absolutely incredible one.

I’ve also ventured to some of the most remote corners of the polar regions. I’ve witnessed the ethereal beauty of Franz Josef Land, where walruses lounge on ice floes beneath towering cliffs, and explored the rarely-visited Wrangel Island – a sanctuary where dozens of polar bear mothers den each year.

One of my most memorable experiences was camping on the sea ice in East Greenland, listening to the symphony of creaking glaciers and the occasional whale blow in the distance. I’ve even made it to the remote South Sandwich Islands, where millions of chinstrap penguins nest among active volcanoes, and to South Georgia’s Bay of Isles, where I watched king penguin chicks waddle through fields of tussock grass while elephant seals lounged nearby.

Camera-Happy Explorer

When I’m not plotting amazing Arctic cruises for my clients, you’ll find me glued to my camera. I’m a bit of a photography nut, especially when it comes to wildlife. There’s nothing better than catching that perfect shot of a polar bear and cubs, or a whale showing off against a wall of ice. Got a camera yourself? I’d love to share some tips for capturing those unforgettable polar moments!
