Intrepid Travel is launching a special voyage to Antarctica with Olympic gold medallist Noémie Fox, departing 9 March 2026.
The special departure of the “Best of Antarctica: Whale Journey” expedition is an 11-day journey aboard Ocean Nova.
During the voyage, intrepid travellers will get the chance to explore Antarctica’s pristine landscapes and witness the incredible migration of humpback whales. They may even get the chance to kayak alongside Noémie as part of the day paddle program.
Noémie is an Australian slalom canoeist and Olympic gold medallist. She won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the women’s slalom kayak cross. Noémie announced her partnership with Intrepid this month by sporting their logo on her helmet at the Championships in New Zealand.
“I’ve always found empowerment through adventure and travel, and I’m thrilled to partner with Intrepid Travel, a company that shares my passion for meaningful, responsible travel,” Noemie said. “Here’s to more women stepping out of their comfort zones and seeing the world on their own terms!”
Noemie will also share her inspiring story of overcoming challenges to reach Olympic glory.
Intrepid Travel ANZ General Manager Yvette Thompson said partnerships are all about alignment. “Noémie’s energy, humility, and love for travel make her the perfect fit for Intrepid. We are proud to support women in adventure and look forward to seeing how this collaboration inspires others.”
Additionally, the journey includes opportunities to contribute to whale conservation by photographing whale flukes for Happy Whale, a Citizen Science project that tracks and identifies individual whales across the oceans. Guests will also gain insights from polar experts and explore Antarctica’s unique wildlife and landscapes.
