The harsh and remote wilderness of Antarctica is often described as ‘The Final Frontier’ or ‘The White Continent’. It is an eerie and desolate region explored by explorers such as Shackleton and Scott. There are a number of fantastic vessels that explore this spectacular continent from October-March every year.
The end of the earth is explored by joining a exploration cruise that sails between the icebergs, endless frozen, snowy landscapes and penguin colonies.
Expedition - a cruise of Antarctica is the only way to explore this unique and seldom-visited part of our planet. Depending on which boat you select, then the cruise can be luxurious, but these are expeditions with likeminded explorers as opposed to luxury cruises.
Wildlife - you can witness with your own eyes scenes that you would expect in a David Attenborough documentary. From penguins to seal pups to albatross; it is epic.
Beauty - Antartica is a continent like no other, and cruising around these barren landscapes is sure to amaze.
Guides - the expert guides to these regions adapt to the ever-changing weather conditions, and optimise your wildlife-spotting opportunities to ensure that you get the very most from your trip. They are super-knowledgeable, passionate, and they love what they do.
There are many different itineraries varying in length and route. It is an enviable position to be in if you can deliberate how long you would like to spend discovering. As a guide, the shorter trips can be 6 days in length for a glimpse of the continent and extend to an all-encompassing 30 day option, with alternatives for everything in between.
There are two ways to get to Antarctica, that is to fly or go by boat. Last season, 90% of people took the boat - and we feel it is part of the experience. If you are short of time and want to avoid Drake's passage, then we advise flying from Ushuaia in Argentina as this will cut out around 4 days of sailing.
