Antarctica Cruise

Such is the scale of this continent that no single visit will cover every aspect. By working with a number of different voyage operators we are able to offer a wider choice of itineraries, to suit all requirements – whether it’s your first time to the polar regions, you have a specific interest in wildlife or polar history, if time is limited or if you’re looking for a more in-depth exploration, we can help:

VOYAGES TO THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA 
Easily accessible from Argentina or Chile, from 7 to 20 days duration and with an abundance of wildlife, these are the ideal options for a first-time visit to Antarctica. 

Classic Antarctica
Ideal for first-time visitors to the Antarctic, our best-selling Antarctic voyages explore the abundant wildlife and spectacular scenery of the Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands. Voyages depart from and return to Ushuaia, Argentina. 

Peninsula, South Georgia & the Falkland Islands
An extended version of our Classic Antarctica, including an exploration of the beautiful and wild Falkland Islands and wildlife-rich South Georgia, site of Shackleton’s final resting place and home to countless king penguins. 

Crossing the Circle
A longer version of our Classic Antarctica voyage, taking in all the usual highlights but with an emphasis on pushing further south with the aim to cross the Antarctic Circle at 66° 33’ South. 

Peninsula Fly-In
Classic Antarctica with a twist – instead of sailing across the Drake Passage, save time and fly straight from Punta Arenas, Chile, to the South Shetlands. Here you will board your ship for a Peninsula cruise, before flying back to Chile. Also available as fly one way, sail the other. 


VOYAGES TO EAST ANTARCTICA 
Longer voyages starting and ending in Australia or New Zealand, for those with more time at 26 to 31 days duration. Fascinating wildlife and spectacular scenery, but the real highlight is the chance to follow in the footsteps of legendary polar explorers such as Scott, Shackleton, d’Urville, Mawson and Amundsen. 

East Antarctica / Ross Sea Centennial
These longer voyages offer a rare chance to see the Antarctic continent’s towering Ross Ice Shelf and the fascinating huts of legendary explorers. These itineraries are ideal for voyagers with an interest in the history of polar exploration, with an abundance of wildlife also on offer. Departing from New Zealand or Tasmania, Australia. 


VOYAGES TO THE SUB-ANTARCTIC ISLANDS 
Lasting from 13 to 19 days, these voyages are the ideal option for keen birders and for those who want to visit some of the world’s most remote islands. 

Galapagos Of The Southern Ocean / Birding Downunder 
The remote island groups between New Zealand and Antarctica are known as the Sub-Antarctics and are home to the most diverse collection of seabirds in the world. These itineraries focus on this region’s astonishing array of birdlife as well as unique and hardy flora. 


LAND-BASED ANTARCTIC HOLIDAYS
