An Antarctica cruise is to venture into one of nature's last, most remote wildernesses, the magical 'White Continent'. A near total absence here of human presence has protected Antarctica's incredible wildlife, offering you unique opportunities to view many species in close proximity, including seals, whales and penguins. 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 winter ice pack in spring and elephant seals establishing their territories to the hatching of penguin chicks and whale sightings of late summer.

On our extended Antarctic itinerary, you can also encompass a trip to the Falkland Islands, visiting these scantily populated and windswept islands that offer sanctuary to many species of wildlife. Explore Shackleton's historic journey and travel in his footsteps across South Georgia, visiting the colony of King penguins at Salisbury Plain (weather permitting), before arriving at the Antarctic Peninsula itself.

During your Antarctica holiday, you will experience hands-on exploration in small groups of energetic, like-minded passengers, led by veteran guides on expeditions to Antarctic and the Falkland Islands that bring this incredible environment within reach. On board Le Boreal, you will enjoy your Antarctic holiday in maximum safety and comfort amid a distinguished team of expedition leaders, experienced officers and a friendly and helpful crew.
