Travel with confidence
With our flexibility promise, and a dedicated expert to advise you while you plan, you can book with certainty with Audley.
Antarctica’s a place of almost engulfing whiteness, hard to fathom yet libraries of writings have been dedicated to it. Whatever draws you there, our specialists understand. They have all experienced this ultimate wilderness first-hand and will work with you to plan an Antarctic expedition cruise that’s tailored to your needs. They’ll take into account how much time you want to spend at sea, how active you wish to be, and whether you want to expand your trip to take in South Georgia or the Falkland Islands.
Our polar team will prepare you for the sights and the sensory bombardment of this land of eternal winter. Penguins are your constant (and you might spot whales, if you’re lucky). But, our specialists will explain, holidays to Antarctica are also about absorbing the sheer scale and surreal shapes of the continent’s landscapes: its glaciers, icebergs, ice floes and mountains.
