EYOS Expeditions Antarctica Private Yacht Expeditions
True private-polar — small guest counts and EYOS' Antarctic firsts, not a rebadged cruise product.
Why it is here
The Telegraph (May 2024) boards Hanse Explorer under EYOS management and documents the private-charter economics — from roughly $245k a week plus expenses — against book-by-cabin from about $70k a week. Condé Nast Traveler's yacht-cruise feature uses EYOS Legend as the intimacy argument versus mass expedition ships, noting full-charter bands that can approach $500k a week. Robb Report (Dec 2025) continues to position EYOS as the UHNW research-and-expedition curator on Solace-class programs. Prefer full charter: book-by-cabin dilutes the exclusivity this rank assumes.
Who it is for
Families and boards who want itinerary flexibility, 1:1 staffing culture, and landings without ship queues.
