A Day in Antarctica   Antarctic Wildlife
Our Guides in Antarctica

2012 marks the centenary of Scott's fateful Antarctic expedition to the South Pole, one of a handful of pioneering explorers to this challenging environment. Even today, Antarctica represents one of the world's last pristine wildernesses, a magical place barely touched by human presence.

Taking an Antarctica holiday is to venture into the magical 'White Continent'. The absence of human presence has protected Antarctica's incredible wildlife, offering you unique opportunities to view seals, whales and penguins in close proximity. Your Antarctic cruise will take you through the ice-strewn waters of the Southern Ocean in the austral summer from November to March. Witness the break-up of the ice pack in the late spring, elephant seals establishing their territories and the hatching of penguin chicks, with frequent whale sightings in late summer.

On our extended Antarctic journey, you can encompass a trip to the windswept Falkland Islands. Explore Shackleton's historic journey and follow his footsteps across South Georgia, visiting the colony of King penguins at Salisbury Plain, before arriving at the Antarctic Peninsula itself.

During your Antarctic expedition, experience hands-on exploration in small groups of energetic, like-minded passengers, led by a distinguished team of expedition guides who will give you a deep insight into the incredible environment of the Antarctic and Falkland Islands. On board Le Boreal, enjoy your Antarctica cruise in total safety and optimum comfort with an experienced and friendly crew.
