Polar Holidays

Take a voyage to the ends of the Earth, on an awe-inspiring Polar expedition to the Arctic or Antarctica. Discover an icy wilderness made up of some of the most beautiful and wild scenery you could imagine, enormous icebergs in incredible shades of blue and a range of fascinating wildlife, including Polar bears, walrus, penguins, seals and whales.

The polar regions were once reserved for ground-breaking pioneers and seasoned adventurers, but these days you can explore the poles in comfort on one of our popular expedition vessels. We travel on small ships crewed by committed staff with extraordinary levels of experience and a dedicated work ethic – these are the people who make polar holidays truly unforgettable. See our Polar Fleet page for more details of the ships that we recommend.

Polar Promise

We are extremely conscious of our presence in the Polar regions. Protecting these pristine, yet fragile, environments and their wildlife is imperative.

Great trip to Svalbard. Polar bears, walruses, seals, reindeer and loads of birds, gorgeous scenery. Comfortable ship, good food, wonderful friendly and helpful staff. Interesting talks every evening after supper. An excellent introduction to the Arctic.

Amanda Burge Introduction to Spitsbergen

You take a big gamble on both weather and wildlife viewings on this trip but we were incredibly lucky with both. The scenery and polar bear sightings were out of this world. If you are willing to take a risk on both of these factors then this trip is an absolute must.

Donna Hammond Introduction to Spitsbergen

Can’t -it was magic!! So very glad l went.

“As adventure enthusiasts, the Polar regions are close to our hearts. If you’re the same, join our South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula: Penguin Safari trip. It visits the resting place of Sir Ernest Shackleton, abandoned whaling stations and iconic landing sites. The highlight, for me, however, is the chance to see tens of thousands of penguins in the wild.”
