Discover the luxury expedition ships and unique camps in Antarctica

This uniquely forbidding landscape is the realm of the expedition, and as such your accommodation options will be on carefully chosen specialist vessels that are designed to navigate the icy waters. We only work with vessels that we know offer the perfect mix of stability, speed, comfort, expert leadership and safety. The cabins you will stay in offer warm beds that are much needed in the icy environment. As there are only limited departures and room numbers on the below vessels, and due to the popularity of the trips, spaces can fill quickly, so we recommend booking well in advance to secure your place on one of these voyages of discovery.

In Antarctica you can navigate by luxury expedition ship, or even camp on the icy peninsula itself in some astoundingly unique camps.
