ANTARCTICA

An expedition to the edge of the earth for both intrepid explorers & curious luxury seekers

ANTARCTICA AT A GLANCE

Antarctica is a distant land that belongs to no one. As experts in remote destinations, we crave everything the “last continent” has to offer – spectacular raw beauty, dramatic landscapes, thrilling adventures, and experiences unique to the destination. Soar in a propeller plane over vertical rock formations. Scale a nunatak and look out at the endless white horizon. Explore by zodiac and encounter massive penguin colonies, jaw-droppingly giant blue whales, and powerful pods of hunting orcas. Roam the icy Earth on a 4×4 under the midnight sun. Go on an expedition to the South Pole and earn the eternal bragging rights of a true polar explorer.

At over a mile thick, the frozen floor in Antarctica comprises 90% of the ice on Earth and represents 70% of the planet’s freshwater (scary fact – if the ice melted sea level would rise 200 feet). You would think that a place with no currency and no time zone that is populated by penguins rather than humans would be inhospitable and impossible to get to. In fact, the variety of ways to experience Antarctica and the level of exclusive, private luxury accommodation we have access to is astounding.

How you get to Antarctica will determine how you connect with it once you arrive, as will the size of the ship’s hull – bigger ships have more amenities, while smaller ones allow you to explore narrower nooks and crannies amongst the icebergs and glaciers. You can test your sea legs on a multi-day voyage over the rough waters of the Drake Passage, or skip it altogether to meet your vessel in the South Shetland Islands by plane. We can also arrange a private yacht charter. Or, for the wildest and quickest view of the last frontier, those seeking the ultimate in experiential luxury can take a one-day trip involving a direct private flight from the tip of Africa.
