The Discovery Team is made up of up to 20 team members on Scenic Eclipse Expedition Voyages, 15 members on Discovery Voyages and up to four members on Classic Voyages.
We’ve sought top experts in their field, from historians and geologists, to archaeologists and photographers. They’ll safely guide and educate you every step of the way, ensuring you get the most out of the places you visit. From on board lectures in the state-of-art theatre, to guided kayak excursions and nature walks, to coasting on Zodiacs in front of enormous glaciers, the Discovery Team will share with you their passion for, and knowledge of, these magnificent regions.
Baldur is Icelandic and has been a marine naturalist and Polar guide since gaining an MSc degree in Ecotourism in Scotland in 2012.
Baldur has completed 50 Polar voyages, which have also seen him in various subpolar and temperate destinations such as Tristan da Cunha, the remotest settled island in the world. His favourite is the subantarctic wildlife heaven of South Georgia.
He enjoyed working on whale-watching boats but only found what his true love is when he started working on expedition ships since they present him with the change and challenges that he thrives on. Not one who fancies a future behind a desk, Baldur always looks forward to his next voyage at sea or days surrounded by ice.
Baldur is a marine naturalist and Polar guide because he finds the smiling faces on the pier at the end of a trip hugely rewarding. As a graduate of Ecotourism, he strongly believes in sustainable, ethical wildlife tourism as a powerful tool in helping people become conservation minded and appreciate wild places and wildlife.
