Take an adventure many have only dreamed of with a luxury expedition cruise to Antarctica. The Seventh Continent, the White Desert, the Land of Penguins or the Base of the Globe, get ready to discover Antarctica, the highest, driest, windiest continent on earth.
Why travel to Antarctica
When the darkness of winter lifts each November, and the frozen grip on the land begins to yield, life arrives in full force. On a luxury cruise to Antarctica you will explore and finally discover the continent. Penguins and seals come to breed and raise their young, fledging and suckling them in the New Year. Whales frolic and feed in the rich waters, peaking in numbers in late February and March. Albatross circle on their never-ending quest for food while orca and leopard seal take their place at the top of the food chain.

View TRIP +We believe travel is precious
The world has transformed dramatically since cazenove+loyd was founded in 1993. On every trip we take, we wonder how that destination will look in another 30 years. We are passionate about our destinations and understand that it has become more important than ever to conserve their wildlife, habitats and communities for future generations.
Our Destination Expert’s top tip
Travel in November – Early December to witness the penguin famous mating ritual (with some luck you might see a penguin pebble proposal).
There is no Antarctic time zone. At the South Pole the lines of longitude, which give us different time zones around the globe, all meet at a single point. Most of Antarctica experiences 6 months of constant daylight in summer and 6 months of darkness in winter.
Antarctica has its own Treaty. In December 1959, 12 countries signed the Antarctic Treaty, an unprecedented international agreement to govern the continent together as a reserve for peace and science. Since then, 41 other countries have signed the Treaty and participate in annual meetings, where decisions are made about how human activity in Antarctica is managed.
