Falkland Islands, South Georgia & Antarctic Peninsula
Spend a full 20 days exploring the far southern reaches of the globe.
From 14500 per personAntarctica is located at the southernmost part of the Earth. It is the continent that surrounds the South Pole and is situated almost entirely within the Antarctic Circle. It is bordered by the Southern Ocean, and its exact coordinates vary depending on specific locations. The continent is covered by a vast ice sheet and is known for its extreme cold temperatures and unique polar ecosystems.
Antarctica hosts diverse animals adapted to its extreme cold. Penguins, seals (like Weddell and Leopard seals), whales (including Orcas and Blue whales), and birds (such as Snow petrels and Albatross) inhabit its coasts and waters. Fish like Antarctic toothfish, invertebrates like krill, and microorganisms also thrive. These creatures have evolved unique ways to survive in this harsh environment. Discover more about Antarctica's wildlife.
Antarctica is primarily inhabited by scientific research personnel. The population fluctuates, with approximately 1,100 during the harsh winter and around 4,400 in the milder months (October to February). The mild months and Antarctica’s tourist season also brings an additional 1,000 staff found in its surrounding water.
Tourists visiting Antarctica can enjoy scenic cruises, wildlife viewing (penguins, seals, whales), educational lectures, Zodiac boat tours, photography, kayaking, snowshoeing, and even camping. They may also visit research stations and experience unique activities like polar plunges.
Wildlife Specialists
Whether you’re surrounded by chinstrap penguins on a black sand beach or watching humpbacks lunge-feed just offshore, wildlife is at the heart of every Antarctic voyage we offer. We prioritise ships and itineraries that allow more time ashore and fewer guests, meaning more meaningful, respectful encounters with the wildlife of the White Continent.
Wealth of Experience
We’ve spent years building relationships with the best ships, guides and expedition teams operating in Antarctica. Our specialists have travelled on the vessels we recommend and know exactly when, where and how to travel for the best experience. From the classic Peninsula to the Ross Sea and beyond, we’ll guide you through the options to find the voyage that suits you best.
Small Ship Safari
Travelling on a smaller expedition vessel gives you far greater flexibility and access to remote sites. With fewer passengers, you’ll spend more time off the ship exploring by Zodiac, on foot or even kayaking through iceberg-strewn bays. This isn’t a cruise — it’s a true expedition, with the freedom to go where the wildlife leads.
