Our Antarctica Expeditions

Set off on an unforgettable journey with our Antarctica tours. See our trips below and find the perfect one for your adventure!

Highlights of your Antarctica Expedition

Here are some key highlights of your Antarctica expedition:

  • Drake Passage: Experience the legendary crossing, where the Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern Oceans meet, offering a thrilling start to your journey. As you sail through this iconic stretch of ocean, you may witness blue whales and an incredible display of seabirds, including albatrosses and petrels, soaring above the waves. The anticipation builds as you approach the White Continent, setting the stage for the rest of your journey.

  • Incredible Wildlife: Antarctica is home to some of the world’s most remarkable wildlife, offering unforgettable encounters with species like penguins, seals, and whales. Depending on the season, you may witness penguin colonies bustling with activity, with chicks hatching or adults returning from the sea. Seals such as Weddell, elephant, and leopard seals can be spotted lounging on ice floes, while various species of whales, including humpback and minke whales, surface nearby. Bird enthusiasts will also be thrilled by the presence of a variety of seabirds, including skuas and petrels.

  • Zodiac Excursions: One of the most exciting aspects of an Antarctic expedition is the opportunity for Zodiac boat excursions. These small, inflatable boats allow you to navigate through icy waters, bringing you up close to towering icebergs and stunning glaciers. Zodiacs also provide access to remote landing sites where you can step onto the Antarctic continent itself, an experience few people in the world can claim.

  • Historic Sites: Antarctica’s rich history of exploration and research offers many fascinating sites to visit. You can explore Port Lockroy, a former British research station now turned museum and post office, or the haunting remains of Deception Island, once used as a whaling station and later as a research base. These places offer a glimpse into the storied past of polar exploration and the human impact on this frozen frontier.

September 2025

It was really a great trip. It was My first cruise, and that went better than expected. Great booking and pre-trip service by Polar Tours, specially Celia! At the Ocean Albatros, the experience was just amazing: from the little greenlandic villages and 4 days of northern lights at the top deck, to the zodiac cruise in the middle of huge icebergs, and also an ESPECTACULAR Expedition team, lead by Mark, an incredible guy. Food at the ship was good, the room was super comfortable, the captain is also an incredible fellow, deeply passioned about his profession. Long story short, a trip never to forget, really amazing and safe adventures. Really recommend to everyone. I wasn't sure how it was gonna go when I booked, due to the lack of reviews (even on Youtube), but I can now say it is worth it. You have my true review here and I'll also make one on youtube!

A very nice cruise ship, a very capable captain Johan, and a very professional team of guides. We were fortunate to have nice weather so all planned activities were executed.

Plancius Antarctic and Arctic Cruises

Classic

Although I have participated in many wildlife-focused tours throughout the world, this was my first trip to the Arctic and my first ship-based expedition. In short, I had an amazing experience! The expedition team all had impressive resumes and worked hard to meet the individual preferences of the guests. Through shore excursions and zodiac cruises, they made the natural and human history of Svalbard come alive. We spent two days in the pack ice far from shore in an otherworldly experience. We were fortunate enough to find three different polar bears on our voyage but sightings of birds, seals, reindeer, walrus, whales and arctic foxes kept us busy throughout the journey.

Plancius Antarctic and Arctic Cruises

Classic

This was my first boat exploration trip and it exceeded my expectations. Of course, the first polar bear on the open ice was the highlight. She was magnificent! The crew aboard the Plancius was excellent. The guides were excellent as well, each had their own areas of expertise which was helpful for the detailed knowledge and answers to our questions we were looking for. I also enjoyed glacier and bird explorations in the zodiacs.

Kayaking

Kayaking in Antarctica is an amazing way to see this beautiful and remote land. Paddle through icy waters, surrounded by huge glaciers and stunning wildlife. Get close to icebergs and watch seals and penguins in their natural habitat. This unique adventure lets you explore Antarctica's scenery from a whole new angle.
