EXPEDITION GUIDE ACADEMY
Bespoke Training for Your Expedition Teams
As the expedition cruise industry grows, so does the need for well-trained professional staff. Busy itineraries, revolving teams and product focus mean that delivering in-house training can be less effective and offer less continuity in information and skill delivery.
​
We can deliver a variety of programmes designed to meet the needs of your operation and the needs of your staff. From bespoke guide refresher courses through to comprehensive hard and soft skill development, communication strategies and more.
​
The location of staff and vessels can be logistically challenging for training. Send your teams to our central training location in Denmark, or have our instructors come to you.

Polar Bear Safety & Firearm Handling Course - Company Specific
Prepare your expedition teams for operations in polar bear habitat with focused, field-relevant training.
This three-day course combines non-lethal bear safety systems, live-fire firearm handling, and operational decision-making to help teams build confidence, consistency and safety. We're able to deliver training in line with your company SOPs.
Zodiac Rescue & First-Aid Course
Take your team’s small-boat operations to the next level.
This hands-on, scenario-based course covers person-overboard recovery, casualty packaging, self-rescue, and capsize management.
Teams strengthen communication, coordination, and decision-making under pressure, developing the capability to respond effectively when things go wrong in the field.
Operator-Specific Training
Every operation has its own culture, challenges, and expectations, so your training should reflect that.
We work directly with expedition leaders, training managers, and company teams to design programmes that align with your operational goals and standards.
Whether you’re looking to strengthen team dynamics, refine emergency response procedures, or standardise field practices across multiple vessels, we’ll help you build a course that delivers meaningful results.
From hands-on hard-skill refreshers to leadership, communication, and wellbeing modules, every element is designed around your vessels, your people, and your operating environment.
Our training can be delivered at our bases in Denmark, New Zealand or onboard your vessels.
