Arctic & Antarctica
At the polar ends of the earth, two white, frozen wastelands that are among the most remote parts of our planet, await the truly adventurous traveller. These elemental wildernesses of ice, wind, water and rock are hauntingly beautiful and amazingly distinct. Sail into the Antarctic as bright blue icebergs glide by, see whales touch the surface before returning to the icy depths, then venture onto the frozen surface and walk with penguins fearless of people. Journey into the Arctic and meet its most famous inhabitant, the polar bear. Don't miss the other highlights beyond these majestic creatures. Cruise past old whaling stations and admire herds of walruses on your Arctic adventure. Alistair Butchers - Region Manager

Our regional highlights...
Antarctic Peninsula, XAOP
The classic Antarctic expedition. Cross the Drake Passage from Ushuaia into the icy wilderness. Spot up to four different species of penguin, thronging seal colonies and dramatic ice floes. See the Antarctic like the explorers of old.
Falklands & South Georgia, XAOF
These islands of the Antarctic region are as exciting as any of the ice-covered wilderness. Visit the historic Falklands with their huge penguin colonies and stop at South Georgia, where Ernest Shackleton is buried, under the spectacular ice-crowned mountains.
Polar Bears, XSB
The polar bear is the Arctic's most famous resident, and what better place to see them than in their own playground, Spitzbergen. Keep an eye out for these noble beasts for a genuine once in a lifetime experience.
The Top of the World, XSB
Spitzbergen is as far north as you can go on land. Any further and you'll be swimming in the Arctic Ocean. Venture into this rugged wilderness and discover incredible wildlife, from the polar bear to the reindeer. Marvel as midnight sunshine lights up giant icebergs.
