As much as we love penguins, polar bears, icebergs and glacier-wreathed bays, you probably don’t need us to tell you that Antarctica and the Arctic are breathtakingly beautiful, or that you’re in for a treat when it comes to wildlife. What you may need advice on, though, is choosing between our polar holidays.
How to decide between north and south, whether land-based adventure or small-ship voyage is best, which expedition ship to choose, when to go and how to get there. That’s where our Travel Specialists can help. They’re cool, calm experts in all things polar.
If you travel across the infamous Drake Passage, take some ginger tea or ginger biscuits with you to banish nausea. It can also help to lay in a place where you can see the horizon and get air often.
