Get ready for an unforgettable trip to the polar circles

If you enjoy wildlife and wilderness, and you’re looking for an experience unlike any other, the Polar Regions should not be missed. Choose from the Arctic – home to polar bear and walrus – or Antarctica, for its towering icebergs and bustling penguin rookeries.

What to expect from a Polar voyage?

Unforgettable experiences

Our aim is to maximise your time spent off the ship, seeing amazing landscapes and wildlife up-close.

All of our polar ships have an on-board team of highly experienced expedition crew and naturalist guides.

Enjoy a small ship experience with fewer passengers on board.

Responsible at heart

We select partners who subscribe to the highest environmental and safety guidelines.

Arctic vs Antarctica

The Arctic

Go in search of polar bear, walrus, arctic fox and seal on a voyage to the Arctic. In true expedition style, you’ll need to expect the unexpected; each trip is unique as itineraries change to make the most of the conditions and wildlife sightings. The Arctic offers unparalleled encounters with the natural world at its most rugged and wild.

Zodiac-cruise through drifting pack ice, keeping a lookout for seal and whale; explore majestic fjords where glaciers meet the ocean, and step ashore to uncover rare flora and fauna existing in the bleak tundra. Immerse yourself in rich history, fascinating traditional culture and experience the warm welcome of local Inuit people in remote Greenland settlements.

Antarctica

Sail across the renowned Drake Passage to reach the Great White Continent or make the journey by plane on one of our fly and cruise trips. Antarctica is a place like no other, home to enchanting wildlife and mind-blowing panoramas of frozen landscapes that invoke a deep sense of peace.

“If I could pocket the feeling, I would. It’s like nowhere else on earth!”

Vanessa Fowler, Polar Product Manager

Meander through the ice-choked waterways of the Antarctic Peninsula with towering icebergs jolting out of the calm inky-blue waters, as you go in search of penguin, seal and a plethora of seabirds. Learn all about the region’s fascinating history and the intrepid explorers who first discovered it, including Sir Ernest Shackleton and Roald Amundsen.
