Antarctica Cruises

Antarctica’s great, white, icy expanse is the planet’s last true wilderness and is mesmerising in its dramatic beauty and wildlife. Since its first sighting in 1820, Antarctica has captured the imagination of the outside world and been immortalised by the feats of the legendary explorers Scott, Amundsen, Shackleton and Mawson. Today, its pristine isolation is matched only by the scale of its magnificent landscapes. Huge tabular icebergs carved from vast ice shelves choke the narrow channels against towering peaks and distant volcanoes. The freezing waters abound with whales, sea lions and orcas while the bays echo the shrill cries of penguins, albatross and petrels. For nature lovers, there is no place quite like it on Earth.
