Highlights

  • Witness Antarctica’s unparalleled natural riches with your fellow like-minded adventurers
  • Combine small ship-based sightseeing together with kayaking, onshore trekking, and other polar pursuits ideal for groups
  • Bond with your band of travelers over spectacular wildlife spectacles, from whales to penguin colonies, and the unbelievable scenery of icebergs and glacier-wrapped mountains
  • Traveling as a group can reduce individual costs through ‘bulk’ discounts
  • Benefit from dedicated guides and more personalized attention

By their very definition Antarctic expedition cruises are small group in nature, using small ice-strengthened ships to better access Antarctica’s remote, wildlife-rich reaches, minimizing any environmental impact, and making for an all-round more intimate experience both on board and off-ship on guided group excursions which maintain a minimum 1:20 field staff-to-passenger ratio ashore. But Antarctica small group tours here refer to those traveling with others—parties of polar explorers heading together on a joint sojourn South Polewards to collectively explore the wonders of the White Continent.

Whether you’re a group of colleagues, a team, society, club, or just a group of friends or extended family, and whatever the reason for your trip, whether it be an annual conference, reunion, incentive reward, or special celebration, Antarctica group tours provide an unforgettable polar experience that you’ll each cherish perennially. Embark on an epic journey of discovery through the continent’s unique ecosystem, and participate in, and bond over, unique activities and singular experiences, such as kayaking among icebergs and porpoising penguins, hiking or even snowshoeing across pristine snowscapes, or even camping out overnight on the ice for the adventure of your lifetime.
