Luxury Antarctic Cruises

Explore the onboard library with an expert glaciologist, get out each day to feel the snow and ice crunching beneath your boots, or just breathe in the Antarctic air from your balcony. Ships such as the Hebridean Sky, Magellan Explorer, Silver Explorer and Greg Mortimer are designed for comfort and adventure, everything from deck space to lounge areas to ship stability has been considered, without compromising your discovery of Antarctica.

The luxury here is bigger than just your surroundings, it comes from the sheer experience of the expert team, the focus on remote, adventurous landings, and the impressive crew to passenger ratio. Travel in comfort, soaking in the passionate, expeditionary atmosphere. 

Settle into life on board a world-class cruise ship, with fully inclusive service, Relais & Chateaux gourmet menus and exquisite cabins and communal spaces. The onboard experience is at the heart of these voyages, with breathtaking vessels designed to cater for more passengers without compromising on space or service.  

You'll still be taken on guided adventures ashore to walk with penguins, observe whales from your zodiac and hike to viewpoints, and will have support from an expert team as you travel the white continent.

When time is a luxury, maximising your days in Antarctica is of the utmost importance, and flying across the Drake Passage is a logical shortcut. It takes just two hours to fly to Antarctica, but it eliminates four days of sailing across open sea, so you can spend each precious moment out exploring.

On arrival, you'll embark on a luxury vessel where the aim is an intimate experience: the Hebridean Sky and Magellan Explorer have only 70 passengers, ocean view cabins, and an action-packed itinerary to get you straight to the best Antarctica has to offer.

Onboard expertise: Your expedition leaders have been handpicked for their experience, passion and expertise, at the highest standards of any ships in Antarctica. The excellent service and welcoming hospitality of the staff is enhanced by a staggeringly high crew to guest ratio, often at nearly 1:1.

You will travel with explorers, scientists, authors, photographers and destination experts at your side, as you discover these remote and remarkable environments.
