Take a voyage to the ends of the Earth, on an awe-inspiring Polar expedition to the Arctic or Antarctica. Discover an icy wilderness made up of some of the most beautiful and wild scenery you could imagine, enormous icebergs in incredible shades of blue and a range of fascinating wildlife, including Polar bears, walrus, penguins, seals and whales.
The polar regions were once reserved for ground-breaking pioneers and seasoned adventurers, but these days you can explore the poles in comfort on one of our popular expedition vessels. We travel on small ships crewed by committed staff with extraordinary levels of experience and a dedicated work ethic – these are the people who make polar holidays truly unforgettable. See our Polar Fleet page for more details of the ships that we recommend.
Polar Promise
We are extremely conscious of our presence in the Polar regions. Protecting these pristine, yet fragile, environments and their wildlife is imperative. All our expeditions follow strict international guidelines and our own ‘Polar Promise’, which aims to ensure the Polar Regions are safeguarded for future generations.
There are few places in the world as evocative as Antarctica. The ultimate wilderness adventure, exploring a pristine area navigable only by small ice-strengthened vessels.
Embrace the spirit of exploration with one of our new Polar adventures. Join a select group of modern pioneers and help forge a new path through the remote Polar regions.
Polar Adventure Ships
In partnership with our sister company Quark Expeditions, we offer a diverse fleet of purpose-built, ice-class expedition ships for exploring the Polar regions. Our polar experts can help you choose the right ship, cabin and itinerary for your adventure.
“As adventure enthusiasts, the Polar regions are close to our hearts. If you’re the same, join our South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula: Penguin Safari trip. It visits the resting place of Sir Ernest Shackleton, abandoned whaling stations and iconic landing sites. The highlight, for me, however, is the chance to see tens of thousands of penguins in the wild.”
So many pinch me moments every single day… Penguins are just incredible to see waddling along their penguin highways, spectacular whale watching, stunning icebergs. I’d go again tomorrow! Loved the camping, paddling and polar plunge. Do it all! You won’t regret it. Fabulous trip, great bunch of people, delicious food.
