This means your deposit, balance payment and entire holiday booking are completely safe and you have peace of mind. In the unlikely event your polar tour cannot take place through no fault of your own, your investment is perfectly safe.

What can you expect on a mid-range polar tour cruise expedition?

Aurora Expeditions Greg Mortimer Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica Peninsula

Some of our most exciting polar expeditions are on very small vessels that can thus get closer to the action and even, in some cases, break up the pack ice to explore remote regions. You will feel like a true Polar explorer on the smallest ships, for example, which only accommodate up to sixteen guests. Cabin space can be basic on these small-ship Arctic and Antarctic expedition cruises, but as an adventurer, you won’t mind that. In all cases cabins are clean, comfortable and well-organized, if somewhat smaller than on first-class and luxury polar cruises. The viewing decks of these small polar expedition ships are likely to be very exposed and there will not be large lounge or dining areas. Your meals will be of a good quality but will tend to be simpler fare than on a first-class or luxury polar cruise.

How to book: You can use the listing filters on this page to search for first-class cruises in the Arctic and Antarctica and polar expeditions on your chosen dates. Each listing will show you all the details, features and amenities which the ships offer. Get in touch with one of our friendly, expert polar travel advisors directly by phone or schedule a video call today to learn more about the latest availability and any possible discounts available on a first-class polar cruise Or check out our FAQ page.
