Steppes Travel was one of the first UK-based Tour Operators to offer holidays to Antarctica nearly ten years ago. Since then we’ve built an impressive reputation based on detailed first-hand knowledge and forged long-standing partnerships with all the leading small ship boat operators. Alex and Sue, our main Antarctic specialists, have over 20 years of Antarctic experience between them and have personally inspected or travelled onboard many of the ships we offer. This in-depth knowledge allows us to help you objectively narrow down the options based on your brief, to exactly the right holiday, boat and cabin for you.

Few regions on earth evoke such strong images as The Antarctic. This immense ice-shrouded continent, remote and inaccessible for much of the year, offers incomparable beauty. Its awe-inspiring scenery, exotic wildlife and rich history are an intoxicating combination that defies the senses. For centuries, Antarctica's powerful siren call has beckoned the intrepid traveller in spite of the danger and discomfort involved. Fortunately, discovering Antarctica risks no such privations today. Embark on your own Antarctic holiday by ice strengthened expeditionary ship during the summer months, and discover that Antarctica, The Falkland's and South Georgia have never been more accessible or offered such bewildering choice.

From the spectacular ice-choked channels of the Antarctic Peninsula, to the stark beauty and historic huts of The Ross Sea, whether you want an express Fly & Cruise trip or an extended epic voyage to cross the Antarctic Circle, Steppes Travel offers one of the broadest ranges of Antarctic cruises available.
