Luxury Vacations & Honeymoons in Antarctica

Wrapping itself around the South Pole, the Antarctic climate can be compared to few other places on earth. The winter months of July and August can reach bitter world-record lows, with the best time to visit running from November to March when temperatures usually hover just below freezing. Within the season, the early months are ideal for catching a glimpse of newborn penguins; whilst later in the season, warmer temperatures give rise to striking sunsets. No matter what month you go, our expert guides will set you a course that guarantees you always see the best.

Part of the allure of a private tour to Antarctica is the chance to glimpse its wildlife – to see penguins, orcas and seals in their natural habitat. With life on the White Continent so inhospitable, much of this wildlife makes its home in the icy waters that surround Antarctica, coming together along the Peninsula in the austral summer to feed and reproduce. For the best wildlife experience though, take a detour east to South Georgia where huge flocks of King Penguins can be found huddled together.

Every day and every island presents a new perspective in Antarctica – and perhaps a new challenge, too. Get a closer look at Glacier Alley one day from the unique vantage point of a sea kayak before snowshoeing across Paulet Island the next. The iceberg-littered landscapes, the fluke of a whale’s tail – everything looks different from these more intimate perspectives. For the most foolhardy amongst us though, little compares to the adrenaline rush of the polar plunge as you leap into the water and see how long you can bear it.
