Luxury Antarctica Holidays
Why book your luxury Antarctica holiday with us
cazenove+loyd’s luxury Antarctica holidays immerse you in the planet’s last great frontier, where vast glaciers meet dark seas, penguins crowd rocky shores and whales surface alongside your boat.
Our Destination Expert Caroline is a trained polar guide who knows how to make the most of your time here, from choosing the right route and vessel to recommending experiences that suit you best. Visit during the austral summer, when wildlife is at its most active. Our specialists have a soft spot for November, when the otherworldly landscape is at its most pristine and the first penguins return to their nesting sites.
Over Christmas, follow in Shackleton’s footsteps to Elephant Island, where he and his men survived two Antarctic winters. Explore by Zodiac, kayak among icebergs or venture ashore with expert guides.
Why not take the plunge and experience the Great White Continent at its most blindingly brilliant? Start planning your luxury Antarctica holiday today.

What our clients say
Excellent pre-trip planning and information. Timely responses to flight changes while travelling. The trip to Antarctica was outstanding. Everything ran like clockwork. I am using cazenove+loyd for my next trip to South America!
The trip was really amazing – it has been hard to adjust to real life! Antarctica can only truly be seen in one way, through experience. Neither words nor pictures can describe this magical place. Thanks to cazenove+loyd for curating a trip that will never be forgotten – sitting in icy waters within just a few metres of sleeping humpback whales is a moment that will forever be imprinted on my family’s minds. Honestly, everything was really close to perfect, so thanks very much. We are wondering where to next?!
