Antarctica Tours

"The season is very limited, access difficult and cost very high so it is vital to book the holiday that suits you. The continent is one of the most beautiful places on the planet and one can easily combine a stay in Buenos Aires, Calafate, or Chile."

Staff Favourites

Travelling from November to Mid March only with everchanging of wildlife from birds courting, mating, giving birth and fledging and flying off. Small expedition vessels offer friendly atmosphere but small cabins with swift landings and if you want to skip the notorious Drake Passage some 48 hours in each direction, a long time to be unwell, we have a unique experience ie fly-cruise on the Antarctic Dream with 39 cabins. - Chantal Chenede
