Antarctica in Luxury View Itineraries

Discovering Antarctica on a luxury expedition ship is by far an experience you will never forget. Not only will you enjoy and relax in ultimate comfort, you will also be able to step ashore on the spectacular white continent. Witness glaciers and mountain ranges like never before and be amazed by the abundance of wildlife. The combination of this spectacular continent with the luxury on board is truly a once in a lifetime, so finding the best luxury cruise to Antarctica is perfect for Australians and New Zealanders who want to travel in style. 

What is a Luxury Antarctica Cruise?

Every person's idea of a luxury cruise is different, for some it's a luxury to have state of the art facilities on board and for others it's simply a smaller cruise which has a personal touch. It truly varies from person to person. 

Our accommodation and style of ships is frequently scrutinized by our staff, ensuring the cruises we offer adhere to our high standards. To make it easier for you to find your ideal cruise, we offer three categories of luxury Antarctic expeditions. 

Superior Antarctica Cruises

Superior cruises to Antarctica have comfortable accommodation, with above average facilities and service. You can expect plenty of care and attention from the ship's crew, highly qualified expedition staff and excellent cuisine and bar options.

The MS Seaventure is one of our top Superior ships, featuring modern German-Japanese design, gourmet dining, and a huge wraparound deck, ideal for Antarctic photography. 

Deluxe Antarctica Cruises

Deluxe cruises to Antarctica have outstanding accommodation, with impeccable facilities and service. With modern and stylish design, deluxe vessels often offer X-Bow technology for a smoother sailing. 

As well as a hugely accomplished staff and crew in terms of knowledge, safety and service, you can also expect to have the more sophisticated creature comforts, with many cruises including beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages. 

These Antarctic ships may feature purpose-built lecture theatre and citizen science labs, pampered beauty treatments, and exceptional culinary delights. 

Our most popular Deluxe Antarctic vessels include the Ocean Albatros and Ocean Victory. Or, the Greg Mortimer and Douglas Mawson also offer a premium experience. 

Deluxe Plus Antarctica Cruises

These vessels are truly in a league of their own, offering five-star amenities, personalised service, and may feature fine art, world-class wellness centres, and private butler service. 

On your cruise, you may enjoy a scenic helicopter flight, fine cuisine paired with matching French wines, and luxury suites with spacious balconies.
