Polar tours take you to the most remote parts of our world – a terrain ruled entirely by nature. See walruses, penguins and polar bears playing in untouched surrounds, and the magnificent natural wonders of fjords, icebergs and the aurora.
Our tours to Antarctica take you from cruise ship to small boat and then onto land where few – if any – have trodden before. Trips through the Arctic are no easy feat, made possible by the nuclear-powered icebreaker that is often the highlight of many trips. The air may be cold and the environment harsh, but after getting your fill of the sights and sounds you’ll have our premium ships to retreat to. With well-trained and responsible leaders, your polar ventures will be informative, exhilarating and most of all, life-changing.
If at all possible, include South Georgia in your travel plans to the Antarctic. This area is an absolute gem for anyone interested in wildlife.
