Antarctica Boat Expeditions

Antarctica is said to be the coldest, driest and windiest place on earth, but that does not describe its attractions as a tourist destination.

This immense wilderness is a fabulous and virtually pristine paradise for wildlife with incomparable scenery of mountains, snow and ice. It is a privilege to visit this awe-inspiring continent and to tread in the footsteps of great explorers.

Taking advantage of the long days at the height of the Austral summer, November through to March are the best times of the year to visit Antarctica. Observe vast colonies of penguins, spot great whales, watch hundreds of seals resting lazily on ice floes, and marvel at the extraordinary variety of shapes, sizes and colour of icebergs. The vistas are magnificent, with towering glaciers and dramatic cliffs that drop almost vertically into the sea. Everything in Antarctica appears to be built on a scale that is larger than life.

There is a range of different expeditions of varying length and Antarctica ships from which to choose, which our Antarctica specialists can help guide you through:
