Alicia has personally been on and knows members of the crew on every vessel we represent. During the analogical years of travelling, Alicia earned a coveted spot in the Lonely Planet travel guide as the only recommended local agent for Antarctica. She has sailed on more than 25 Polar expeditions, including visits to the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) and South Georgia, the Weddell Sea and the Antarctic Peninsula. In 2010, she completed an expedition around the famous Cape Horn and the Chilean Fjords, not to mention expeditions to the Canadian High Arctic and Svalbard in Norway.
Alicia used to personally see travellers onto the ship and greet them when they returned. Her long term commitment to the industry, her professional integrity, her infectious charm and personal touch, as well as her love of sharing her passion with like minded people have helped her create and sustain strong relationships within the industry. She is the Godmother of many expedition members both on and off the ships.
“My greatest professional reward is having built a company that succeeds my passion for Antarctica. With a more laid back role in the company, I still oversees the most important aspects of Antarctica Travels, inspiring the team and building even stronger ties with our small community of Polar buffs and lovers.” Alicia Petiet
