One Ocean Expeditions is committed to supporting local economies, cultural heritage, and community development in the regions we travel. We are an important tourism partner to the many remote and isolated regions we visit, from the Canadian Arctic to the Falkland Islands.
We focus on maintaining strong partnerships and collaborating with local governments, industry associations, and tourism operators. Itineraries are designed to maximize integration into communities, including guided local tours and visiting local hand-made arts and crafts markets.
Through ‘The One Ocean Foundation’, we have developed community outreach programs in partnership with established organizations, and have enabled millions of dollars of financial support to programs focused on food security, recreation and sport, health, science, and youth education.
