Polar Holidays

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.

Can’t -it was magic!! So very glad l went.

Sheena Campbel Arctic Saga: Spitsbergen, Faroes & Jan Mayen

I feel immeasurably humbled to have been able to visit the 7th Continent on this trip. I will now live with the problem of the inability to fully relay to others what it is like to be in Antarctica, to see a landscape unchanged in thousands of years, to smell those penguins, to feel the cold Antarctic breeze, to hear the deafening silence of a sea full of ice. This itinerary gives you so much more time with the continent and crossing the Antarctic Circle was a notable highlight moment of the trip alongside doing the Polar plunge south of the Circle which just added to what was already an out-of-this-world experience. Amazing!

Alex Morris Crossing the Circle via Buenos Aires

An amazing experience. Awe inspiring.

“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.”
