Antarctica, Falklands & Arctic Circle

Visit the White Continent for a remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime experience and discover Antarctica. Your adventure to the seventh continent will allow you to meet these incredible creatures while enjoying the indelible scenery of mountainous glaciers and roaming icebergs.

We offer our travelers the option of several state-of-the art Expedition Ships with different itineraries depending on your interest and length of travel. For those who prefer to fly in comfort over the stormy Drake Passage and board your ship directly in Antarctica, we have you covered! Take a two-hour flight from Punta Arenas in Chilean Patagonia directly to Antarctica where you board your expedition ship. You thereby avoid the stormy sea and potential seasickness, experiencing only the best Antarctica has to offer. Similar programs are available for the nearby Falkland Islands, known for its abundant wildlife, most notably its varied penguin population.

To enhance your experience with wildlife, we offer boutique-style wilderness adventures. Large cruises are not able to disembark and explore Antarctica, but only sight see from a distance. Ask your Craft Travel designer about our small expedition vessels, offering service as intimate as on a private yacht and with privileged access to Antarctica. With only a maximum of 75 guests, spend your time exploring rather than waiting from a distance.

For our most discerning clients, consider a visit to Antarctica’s Deep Field, a journey made by private aircraft from Cape Town, South Africa with White Desert. In an area of the continent reached by only 200 individuals per year, you will reside in luxury pods and spend your days exploring the seventh continent as if it were your personal playground, assisted by world class guides. The climactic finale of your adventure will take you to the world’s only Emperor Penguin colony along with its most remote location, the South Pole.

Let Craft Travel check the dream off your bucket list. Plan your luxury Antarctica trip with us today.

Antarctica

Antarctica is an ecological wonder that has bewitched explorers, scientists and voyagers alike for two centuries. This fascinating territory contains more than 90% of the earth’s land ice, which transforms it into the largest fresh water reserve on earth. Among the main species that make up marine Antarctic fauna are whales, seals, penguins as well as a variety of sea birds. Antarctica’s matchless beauty and extreme climate conditions make this one of the most exotic destinations in the world. Experience the splendor hands-on by sea kayaking through glaciers, snow-shoeing, hiking and zodiac rides alongside the region's varied sea life.

The Falklands & South Georgia

Set 300 miles east of Patagonia, the Falkland Islands are home to an impressive array of wildlife, most notably the world’s largest colony of black-browed albatrosses and three species of penguins not found in Antarctica. Despite its proximity to South America, scientists believe the islands were once attached to the African continent, leading to theories that the archipelago’s flora and fauna arrived through dispersal. Southeast of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia forms a crescent-shaped landscape abundant in glaciers and sheer, rugged peaks believed to once be part of the greater Andean range of South America. Boasting one of the highest concentrations of wildlife on Earth, it’s estimated 30 million breeding birds call the island home—from 7 million penguins to 250,000 albatrosses—and half of the world’s population of southern elephant seals.

Arctic Circle

Home to one of earth’s rarest and most magnificent predators, the Arctic is a must-see for naturalists and thrill seekers. But visiting the endangered polar bear is just one of the many illuminating experiences the region provides, boasting rare wildlife like the musk oxen, puffins, and even the narwhal. The history of its brave explorers highlights the dramatic and adventurous spirit of the Arctic, from the singular northern lights to majestic glaciers. The pristine beauty of the Arctic Circle remains one of the world’s most spectacular sights to see.
