G Adventures

Follow in the footsteps of Sir Francis Drake and brave the cold by sailing to one of the world’s most remote, yet wildlife-rich corners—Antarctica—on an engrossing G Adventures expedition cruise.

If your priority is racking up as much time as possible traversing Antarctica’s dynamic polar waters, rather than simply admiring it from the deck, G Adventures puts forward a compelling choice. Travelling aboard the well-equipped Expedition ship, you’ll travel with just 128 passengers – small enough to maximise opportunities for Zodiac excursions, large enough to give you plenty of space to relax in between them. Watch penguins waddle side-to-side along the shoreline, spot seals resting delicately on the ice and take in the White Continent’s vast glacial scenery from ground level.

This is an expedition in the truest sense of the word. A team of scientists, naturalists and experienced polar guides will share their specialist knowledge throughout your journey, helping you understand the fragile ecosystems surrounding you, the wildlife inhabiting them, and the history that brings it all together. Plus, with an impressive 10:1 passenger-to-expedition-expert ratio, there’s always someone on hand to answer pressing questions or help you get more from each landing during the trip.

Life on board has a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that appeals to adventurous travellers looking for good value without compromising on the expedition experience. Comfortable cabins with private en-suite bathrooms, a theatre-style lecture room, observation areas, a gym and two Jacuzzis provide welcoming spaces to unwind. The focus, however, remains firmly on what lies beyond the ship.

G Adventures also supports citizen science projects through the Polar Citizen Science Collective, meaning you contribute to ongoing Antarctic research while you travel. Antarctica is facing severe threats due to ongoing climate change issues, so this work is vital to helping preserve it.
