orcas moving silently through the icy waters and visited vast colonies of penguins scattered across the snow-covered shores. Seeing seals resting on floating ice and towering glaciers calving into the sea, made every landing feel extraordinary. One particularly memorable stop was Port Lockroy, home to the southernmost post office in the world. Sending postcards to family and friends from such a remote corner of the planet felt incredibly special. We also took part in the infamous polar plunge, jumping into the icy Antarctic waters: a shock to the system but a once-in-a-lifetime experience we couldn’t resist.

We stayed at the Four Seasons Buenos Aires (a hotel we absolutely loved) before flying home with unforgettable memories of the most extraordinary continent on Earth. “Antarctica was one of the most extraordinary trips we’ve ever experienced. Watching orcas glide past the ship, humpback whales surfacing nearby and thousands of penguins scattered across the ice was unforgettable. It’s a destination that leaves a lasting impression.” Call Mark or Stuart to find out more on 0203 907 1100 Main image: Gentoo Penguins, Neko Harbour, Antarctica Courtesy of Adrian Wlodarczyk
