ANTARCTICA - CRUISE SOUTH, FLY NORTH
20 FEBRUARY – 2 MARCH 2026
Revel in the excitement of crossing the famed 800-km wide Drake Passage after embarking from Ushuaia, Argentina, with the convenience of a northbound return flight at the end of your 10-day expedition. Minke and humpback whales or Adélie penguins floating on ice floes may greet you as you pass, en route to the northernmost tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. Sailing one way and flying the other gives you the best of both worlds! Led by Anita and Mandip Singh Soin.
The surreal silence in this vast wilderness may at first overwhelm you, but playful, charismatic wildlife and your intrepid travelling companions keep you grounded. You will develop a new appreciation and understanding of Antarctica’s extreme contrasts: harsh, rugged mountain peaks and fragile ecosystems; stark, lonely icescapes and incredibly large colonies of gregarious penguins.

SPRINGTIME IN SVALBARD ARCTIC EXPEDITION CRUISE
MAY ONWARDS
Our lucky guests on past trips joined PolarQuest and award-winning photographer and cameraman Doug Allan for an unforgettable expedition cruise through the magnificent wilderness of Svalbard, along with Ibex trip leader Himraj Soin! Spring in Svalbard is an awe-inspiring experience, as the archipelago comes to life: the Arctic fox and the Svalbard reindeer still wear their winter coats, walruses are often seen resting on the ice floes. If you're lucky, you might see the polar bear hunting for seals. Birdlife return to Svalbard in spring, so it's a good time to view king eiders and rock ptarmigans. Glittering ice formations, snow-capped mountains, fjord ice, and pastel-coloured skies dominate the fairytale winter landscape.
