Wonderful
Frozen Continent

On small boat cruises and landings ashore, we'll bring you to see some of the most inspiring animals on earth who survive and thrive in their frozen desert home. Depending on the season, you may see whales feeding, seal pups playing, penguins mating or penguin chicks hatching. The Antarctic Peninsula is home to an estimated population of 12 million penguins. Observe them in their natural habitat, uninhibited and curious.

Incredible Ice-Scapes

One reason to go to Antarctica is for the splendour of its scenery; endless ranges of snow-coated mountains and the majesty of icebergs sculpted by sun, wind, and waves.

Rich Wildlife

The krill-rich waters of the Southern Ocean are a beacon for abundant wildlife: whales, seals, seabirds and of course, penguins.

Active Exploration

You won’t simply wave at Antarctica from the ship as you sail past it. Instead, you’ll join our experienced Expedition Team to go on landings ashore, on small boat cruises.

Explore Antarctica like never before.

The most remote continent on Earth is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.

Best time
to visit Antarctica

November
Most adventours and offers opportunity to explore Antarctica in its most undisturebed form. Temperatures are colder and huge volumes of ice are still breaking up and pristine snow forms crisp white backgrounds. You can witness penguines building nests and stone stealing as this is the season of penguine mating and by end of this month nests will be full of eggs!
December & January

Warmest months of the Antarctica with upto 20 hours of sunlight in a day. Wildlife activities are at the full swing, due to perfect conditions for seal pups and penguin chicks – as well as whales. December and January bring new life to the icy wilderness. On the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, newborn seal pups are blinking in the near-constant sunlight, and penguin chicks can be seen huddled in together on the islands and along the Antarctic Peninsula, while the adults head off to hunt for food.

February to March
The weather is still good and the wildlife active but, most importantly, this is the best whale watching time of the season. This time of year you are also likely to have better access to areas further south as polar ice melts. You will rarely walk on snow during this time; expect rocky and muddy landings.
