To Captain Cook, Antarctica was a 'land doomed by nature to an everlasting frigidness', which he deemed unworthy of exploring further. How wrong he was. Those who followed in his wake have discovered a magical 'White Continent' and one of nature's last, remote and fascinating strongholds.

Antarctic cruises with Abercrombie & Kent draw on the best facilities, guides and local knowledge to create the ultimate Antarctic experience.

A near total absence of a human presence here has protected one of Antarctica's greatest attractions: its wildlife. On your Antarctic cruise you will see many unique species in close proximity, including seals, whales, penguins and dolphins.

Your Antarctic cruise will take you through the iceberg strewn waters of the Southern Ocean throughout Antarctica's most comfortable season, the austral summer. Within this period ranging from November to March, experience the spectacular changes in the dramatic landscape and behaviours of the wildlife of this wonderful continent.

Witness the break up of the winter ice pack, elephant seals establishing their territories through to the hatching of penguin chicks and increasingly visible whales of the late summer. During your Antarctic holiday you will experience hands-on exploration in small groups of energetic, like-minded passengers, led by veteran guides on expeditions that bring this incredible environment within reach.

On board Le Boreal you will enjoy an Antarctic holiday in maximum safety and comfort, and a distinguished team of expedition leaders, experienced officers and a friendly, helpful crew.
