Antarctica, Arctic & Warm-Water Expedition Cruise Specialists | Antarctica Travels

I went with this company two times. Once to Svalbard and once to Antarctica + South Georgia islands. Both times were an absolute blast. Ships were Ortelius and MV Ushuaia. Little bit older ships but I went for scenery not to stay on the ships. Memories are truly forever.
This agent was absolutely great with all the answers and I would definitely pick them for the third time aswell. I would suggest them to make an “Alaska” tab on website for better filtering/searching for those interested, next to Canadian waters.
Thank you for such a wonderful experience.
🙏

I had a great experience booking through Antarctica Travels. The trip on the Ocean Albatros was fantastic, and the service was top-notch. The price I paid was a steal for a trip like this and they were seamless and extremely helpful with the logistics. I highly recommend them and look forward to booking with them again

I had the pleasure to plan another trip to Antarctica with Mai and her team. After going in 2023, I received a great offer from Antarctica Travels and decided to go again. The communication and pre-trip arrangements were flawless and I cannot recommend Antartica Travels enough. Mai and her team did a fantastic job and we felt very well taken care of. Many thanks, Max

Wie bucht man am besten eine Reise in die Antarktis? Genau: man sucht über Google Maps einen lokalen Anbieter in Ushuaia und schaut was es vor Ort für Angebote gibt. Und es ist so: vor Ort bekommt man einfach die Beste Beratung und die besten Angebote. Der Kontakt war einfach, schnelle Reaktionen und immer eine Antwort auf unsere Fragen parat. Sollte ich wieder in arktische Regionen reisen wollen oder generell eine Expedition planen: dieses Reisebüro bzw. Mai ist meine erste Adresse!

I can't even begin to offer Antarctica Travels the praise it deserves - this is a seriously first-class operation. Its knowledge is a given but what makes it such a special company is that it truly cares. From my initial enquiry almost two years before travelling to my endless questions of Mayra as the departure date approach, I never felt like a number. I was also beyond impressed from the start with the way in which a complex travel product was explained to me and the time and care taken by Mayra to discuss the various options when it came to duration of journey and choice of ships. When it came to the actual expedition, every single element and detail - small and large - was absolutely faultless. It is impossible to put a visit to the 'white continent' into words but, as our expedition leader said to me on the morning we disembarked, "You don't need words. Antarctica lives in your heart". If you're considering this life-changing journey, I strongly urge you to look no further than Antarctica Travels.

Antarctica was amazing - more beautiful than expected. Sofia was so helpful guiding us though the planning and paperwork. She was very responsive to our questions and insured we were able to do all the activities we wanted and insured our experience was perfect. I am so grateful for all that she did for us.

Ich bin schon dreimal mit Antarctica Travels gereist! zwei mal in die Antarktis und einmal in die Arktis. Alles super funktioniert! Im märz 2026 geht es nochmals in die Antarktis. Mai macht einen super Job, danke. Fühle mich gut beraten und empfehle Antarctica Travels auch immer gerne weiter 😉

Mai was excellent throughout the whole process, she got us a fantastic deal. Great communication with the whole team. We'll absolutely use them again for our next Antarctica trip!

This was, without question, one of the most extraordinary trips I have ever experienced.
I am deeply grateful to Antarctica Travels for delivering an experience that went far beyond my expectations. From the first point of contact to the final moments of the journey Antarctica Travels care, attentiveness, and professionalism were exceptional. Traveling through Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falklands was profoundly moving, wild, humbling, and unforgettable in every sense.

Every interaction was marked by kindness, thoughtfulness, and genuine presence. Antarctica Travel's attention to detail, clear communication, and steady support made it possible to fully relax and truly enjoy a trip of a lifetime. I never once felt like just a booking. I felt truly heard and looked after.

It is rare to encounter a team that operates with such professionalism while leading with heart. Because of this experience, I will absolutely continue to travel with this agency and recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking not just a trip, but a meaningful journey.

Endlessly grateful for the landscapes, the moments, and the people who made it all possible.

Thank you Antartica Travels for creating something so meaningful and unforgettable.

Antarctica travels helped us to book our cruise to Antarctica. Huge thanks to Sofia who is a superstar. She checked in regularly in each step and made sure the whole process was seamless. She answered all our questions and was courteous, polite and helpful throughout the process.

Amazing experience!
One of the top three travels of our life!
Mai from Antarctica Travels is a very kind and professional person and seller, always ready to solve our doubts.
The Antarctic views, animals and the entire experience on the vessel were amazing and will always be unforgettable for us!

I had an exceptional experience working with Mayra Ginter at Antarctica Travels for our Antarctic expedition. From the initial planning stages through to the trip itself, Mayra was incredibly responsive and thorough in addressing all our questions and concerns. Her timely communication and patient approach made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process.

What stood out most was her attention to detail and genuine care in ensuring we were well-prepared for this once-in-a-lifetime journey. Every query we had was met with clear, helpful answers that gave us confidence in our decisions. Thanks to Mayra's excellent support, we could focus on enjoying the incredible experience rather than worrying about logistics.

I highly recommend Antarctica Travels, and specifically working with Mayra, to anyone planning their Antarctic adventure.

It was kinda a spontaneous idea for me to go to Antartica. I started looking for Antartica cruise around 1.5 month before my departure. Martina was really helpful by giving me a list of cruises available based on my desired month and budget. She was helpful and responded to me emails quickly. Thanks Martina in answering my questions.

As for my Antarctica trip, it was 10+ out of 10 trip! I have nothing to complain ! It's actually even better than I imagined. The ship was new and modern. I enjoyed the Jacuzzi a lot. And the staff and expedition team were amazing! They are super friendly, and professional! I guess because I was travelled solo so the restaurant staff remembered my name on the 2nd/3rd day. I felt really warm and welcomed. As for the food, there were different variety of food available. I am not a big fan on the food in the cruise but the dessert were amazing. Thanks to the weather and professionalism of the expedition teams, I was able to have 2 excursions everyday besides the last days. I think it was the max. excursions they can offer. I did 11 excursions for a 12 days itinerary and they were all incredible. My ship also offered citizen science program so I participated cloud survey, bird survey and also the phytoplankton project. I guess I was lucky to see a lost emperor penguin, lots of orcas, and humpback whales. I guess I was super lucky as I have perfect weather, professional expedition team snd ship staffs, nice ship, and the best people I met in the ship. Everything sum up to my unforgettable and perfect Antartica trip.

The only bad thing for my trip was my serious seasick as I had drake shake for both ways . But it is negligible considering how perfect the trip was.

We worked with Carolina and Antarctica Travels back in 2021 when we had to reschedule a trip at the last minute (and by last minute, I mean with less than 2 days before departure, with both of those being US bank holidays).

We were set to go out on one cruise line, but after we were in Argentina, they started delaying our departure, and ultimately cancelled the trip (although they didn't initially tell us why, the ship was quarantined and not allowed to move).

Carolina pulled off a miracle and made the trip happen. This was for my wife's birthday, and something we had planned for over a year. So it was extra special to us. It would have been crushing to have to return home after the cruise was cancelled. We had put so much time into planning that trip, and we were both looking forward to it.

Instead, she got on an OceanWide cruise that was leaving the same day as our schedule departure, which was amazing. We couldn't have planned it better - although It was definitely a little stressful getting everything sorted out.

The cruise itself was a life changing experience - and one that only happened because of Carolina and her expertise. We would have never been able to reschedule it ourselves given the holidays.

Amazing experience in Antarctica and superb service from AT!

Soñaba desde mis 15 años en viajar a la Antártida. A través de la agencia Antarctica Travels, pude hacerlo realidad durante los 12 días más increibles de mi vida.
Mai, de Antarctica Travels, una genia en todo sentido, asesorándome y guiándome en cada etapa de la reserva, momentos previos al embarque y al regresar también.
Viajé en el buque de expedición M/V Plancius (de OceanWide expeditions), y excedió todas mi expectativas en todo sentido. El staff unos genios, todos con la pasión de la aventura y los conocimientos científicos que hacían que en cada charla amena con ellos, te transmitieran sus conocimientos de maestrías y doctorados en glaciares, ballenas, océanos, etc. etc.
El resto del staff del restaurant, habitaciones y demás, en todo momento te hicieron sentir como en casa, llamándote por tu nombre ya al segundo dia y nunca les faltó una sonrisa.
Un servicio excelente de todas las partes, que obviamente ya se lo estoy recomendando a todos mis amigos y familia, es un lugar adonde hay que ir antes de morirse! :)

It was a wonderful experience. The staff, Sofi, arranged everything smoothly. I absolutely enjoyed the trip.

I'm vey happy I chose Antarctica Travels for my once in a lifetime trip! Sofia, my point of contact, was brilliant. She was super responsive and quick to answer and questions that I had. They made the whole process quick and easy and I ended up going on a ship with excellent crew members who helped to make the trip amazing. Definitely one to book with in future if you're looking to head to the frozen continent!

Another great experience Second time booking with Antarctica Travels - first Antarctica and this time, a 13 day Arctic cruise.

We booked last minute. As before, Mai was very prompt, efficient and detailed in providing options. We found an option with a great deal (with extra returning customer discount) . Everything about the booking was seamless. Inquiry, selection, registration, and payment was all online.

Highly recommend!

The way to go Details were handled perfectly by the people you chose. My 81 year-old mom was delighted by the Galapagos and Peru. We took the Calipso, which has such a wonderful crew (who my Mom refers to as her 'guardian angels') and is very well-appointed. We got to kayak once, snorkel twice, and hike several islands on our four-day cruise! Chef Willy was so accommodating of my Mom and me as vegetarians .we've traveled a lot and not had this kind of attention. We also used Mai for our Antarctica cruise, which of course is their specialty!

Antarctica Last Minute Antarctica Travels was so great!! They helped me find a last minute cruise to Antarctica that was exactly what I wanted for a great price. THANK YOU!!!

Antarctica: A dream come true The experience with Antarctica Travels Agency was excellent from start to finish. Martina, my contact person, was consistently helpful throughout the entire process and always quick to respond to any questions during the journey of achieving a lifelong dream of visiting Antarctica. Her clear and efficient communication ensured everything felt smooth and well-organized.

Overall, the service was highly satisfactory, and future trips—such as to the Arctic or Patagonia—are already being considered with them. The agency comes highly recommended for anyone seeking a reliable and professional travel experience.

Satisfied Customer It was an excellent / great experience with Antarctic Travels, those who have been fully support me to a smooth joining to the expedition teams in Alberto's expedition cruise. I holding no words to congratulate Sofia who help from the beginning to the end, that is my departure from Ushuaia. Since I am a around the world traveller and meet's all seven continent and more than hundred countries, with out any hesitation will recommend Antarctic Travel for any kind of Antarctica voyages. Once again thanks to Sofia. Definitely you will be an asset to those who holding you.

Highly recommended for flawless trip planning! I had the pleasure to plan another trip to Antarctica with Mai and her team. After going in 2023, I received a great offer from Antarctica Travels and decided to go again. The communication and pre-trip arrangements were flawless and I cannot recommend Antartica Travels enough. Mai and her team did a fantastic job and we felt very well taken care of. Many thanks, Max

Crossing the Antarctic Circle The 11-day trip to the Antarctic Circle aboard the Atlas World Traveller booked through AntarcticaTravels.com truly exceeded all expectations. We were especially grateful for the way Mai's Antarctica Travels team were proactive to book our camping on the continent and for all the helpful email exchanges. The Atlas crew and expedition team were wonderful. We were able to attend many insightful and informative talks along with memorable daily zodiak and shore expeditions. This smaller 5-star ship made it easy to get to know many the other passengers. With so many amazing memories it probably will always remain the trip of our lives. We are also humbled by the thought that it is also an experience that so few will have.

Lifetime experience, thank you Antarctica Travel! This was our first trip to Antartica, and at first we had a lot of trouble figuring out what we wanted and who we could rely on for help. We are happy that we found Antarctica Travel. Sofia was very patient, answering all of our questions, and it was she who first suggested that we should search for smaller boats and place our focus on the reputation of the expedition team. We booked passage on the Seaventure, operated by Polar Latitudes, and we had an excellent trip, with fantastic zodiac cruises, landings, and an excellent kayaking expedition. We encountered innumerable humpback whales, visited several penguin colonies, saw many types of seal, and were even woken early in the morning when the ship encountered a pod of orcas, which we were lucky enough to observe at quite close range. We had not been much interested in the science or the history of Antarctica before our trip, but the presentations and lectures of the expedition team and the citizen science team drew us in. This turned out to be a worthwhile lifetime experience, and we would not have invested in it were it not from Antartica Travel’s patience and good advice. We would especially like to thank Antartica Travel for arranging the extra gear we needed as part of the package, and can recommend Polar Latitude and the Seaventure as an incredibly well organized operation and a good spirited ship with friendly crew, an excellent hotel and restaurant staff, and an impressively qualified, energetic, dedicated expedition team. Thank you especially to Mr. Rodello from housekeeping.

Unforgettable trip of a lifetime I am deeply grateful to Antarctica Travels for delivering an experience that went far beyond my expectations. From the first point of contact to the final moments of my trip. Antarctica Travels professionalism and care was exceptional. Traveling through Antarctica, South Georgia, and the Falklands was unforgettable in every sense.

There attention to my specific requests and support made it possible to fully relax and truly enjoy a trip of a lifetime.

Without any doubt I will be using Antartica Travels and certainly recommend to anyone seeking not just a trip, but a meaningful journey.
Beyond grateful for the trip I was able to experience, and the people who made it all possible. Thank you to Antartica Travels for creating something so meaningful and unforgettable.

Wonderful Antarctica Cruise We took the 11 days/10 nights all inclusive Antártica cruise with Atlas. It was an amazing experience. We really had a great time in Antarctica with incredible great weather (sunny and very mild wind) 90% of the time during the trip. Antarctica is so beautiful no matter good or bad weather. We were able to make a total of nine Zodiac landings and cruising during the four and a half days in Antarctica. Food on the cruise was amazingly good. Staff were very friendly and Expedition guides were very knowledgeable as well. It is definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommended it!

I booked the tour through Antarctica Travel with Sofia. She answered all my questions very promptly and gave me many options to choose from. The booking process was seamless. After the booking, she followed through all the details until after the trip. A great tour agent you can consider for your next trip to Antarctica.

Amazing Antarctica experience We had an amazing Antarctica cruise with Albatross/Polar latitudes . I worked with Mayra from Antarctic travels to book this trip. She is very easy to work with and always available if you have questions. Thank you so much Mayra for arranging this experience for us 🙏.

Last minute Antarctica Martina was excellent. She was very responsive and kept us in the loop on our last minute Antarctica cruise. We pulled this off with her help in just 20 days. Our stateroom was excellent, maybe the best on-board. The cruise was fantastic.

The trip of a lifetime on the ship Ushuaia The ship Ushuaia is an excellent way to experience Antartica. The ship has a maximum of 90 guests and this means that every guest can enjoy two excursions per day if the weather allows. All of the staff are fantastic and knowledgeable and go out of their way to make sure that every guest is given the opportunity to enjoy this fabulous part of the world. The trips are of ten days duration and being a small ship it is possible to visit places that the larger ships cannot go. The atmosphere on board was friendly and casual but strict about safety and polar protocols.

An unforgettable adventure I am Brazilian and first of all I have to thank Martina's excellent service! It was all at a distance, on the Internet. She explained everything about the trip to Antarctica and gave me the confidence I needed to buy the package with Antarctica Travels. I made the trip at Ocean Albatros of the company Polar Latitudes and everything went well. The itinerary was modified because the Weddell Sea was frozen, but they planned a new itinerary on the peninsula and the trip was excellent. I went to a shared triple cabin, the room has plenty of space, is luxurious and has everything you need. The fridge is replaced daily and the drinks are courtesy. I kayaked and recommended the experience. You can trust Antarctica travels and Martina, the best seller!

Antarctic Cruising... A Must! One of my most amazing cruises was from Buenos Aires to Antarctica and back! I was on the NCL Star for 16 days with stops in Montevideo, Uruguay; Puerto Madryn, Punta Arenas, Ushuaia, Paradise Bay & Elephant Island, Antarctica; Falkland Islands, and Punta del Este, Uruguay. It was definitely my favorite cruise of all time! The penguins, the Marine life, and the vistas were unforgettable. Although we did not set foot on the continent, we were close enough to understand the experience. The on board scientists who were specialists on penguins, Antarctica, and Geology made it even more informative. Must do cruise!

Super experience I went to Antartica with the support and experience of Antartica Travel and the result was wonderful. We had a perfect trip. Everything was deeply planned to the detail and many nice surprises made the holiday a perfect dream.
I will be contacting them for my next adventure.

Antarctica, the voyage of our life All began with a long period assisted by Mai A. from Antarctica Travel to determinate for us the right expedition to Antarctic continent patiently and her suggestion was exactly what we want. When we had booked, Anita F. organized all details, gave information and prepared everything for a perfect trip in a fantastic and precise matter.
The luxurious WORLD NAVIGATOR and his entire crew brought us into another world. The scene was so tremendous – the icebergs, high mountains covered with snow, the blue sea, the blue sky, the glaciers and all together “decorated” with the wildlife transmitted us into an exciting mood all along this super fantastic journey.
On board all the very friendly and helpful staff let us feel being special guests, starting from cabin steward Candy and his cleaning-fellows, always on duty; then in the restaurant area Jorge S. and his perfect team knew about our favourites very quickly and even the executive chef of kitchen, Aireson F. himself took care of us with special delights.
The competent expedition leader Jonathan Z. together with his team of guides informed us every day about upcoming expeditions with the zodiacs, gave us a good scientific background and resumed all experience in a daily recap. A highlight was the cruise with Fiona J. when we have been with our zodiac straight in the middle of a whale family. The humpbacks were around and under us so we could have touched them with our hands but of course we didn´t.
Helping hands in the mudroom always assisted us to get ready for zodiac cruising.
Extra ordinary thanks and recommendation we want to tell to the Yacht General Manager Nuno de S., who cared about his guests in a very personal and peculiar matter all over the cruise and let us feel like at home on WORLD NAVIGATOR.
On top of that the very likable Captain Filipe S. was navigating us through channels and sounds safely and knew all the hidden places where we could see the real Antarctic. Thank you so much!
Last not least we´ll always remember our daily wakeup call “good morning, good morning” given in a melodically whispered voice by cruise director Dave S. to all onboard. Simply great!
Thanks again to all of those who made this expedition unforgettable for us.

Bucket List checked ✔ Thank you so much to Mayra Ginter of Antarctica Travels. She made my trip come true. Answered my questions and helpful advice suggestions to pick the right expedition cruise company for me.

Epic Expedition Mai and the entire team at Antarctica Travels did an excellent job with constant communications, answering a ton of questions, and connecting us with all the information needed/requested! They allowed us to focus on this amazing adventure and epic expeditions with all the right gear to be completely comfortable. Can't recommend them enough!

We did the Feb-Mar Antarctica Circle trip with Albatross Expeditions onboard Ocean Albatross and it was life-changing! Words come up short, if you're reading this review, you need to do this, we have ZERO regrets!

Trip of a lifetime to the Antarctic This was truly the trip of a lifetime and exceeded all expectations. The scenery was stunning, the wildlife breathtaking and to follow in the footsteps of Shackleton a dream come true. We were so lucky with the weather and also whilst still a bit choppy we were told we were all really fortunate with the crossing of the Drake's Passage. Also visited the Falklands again something I had always wanted to do.

Our ship was no frills but exactly what was needed to enable the small zodiac boats to get us in close for our landings, something the bigger more glitzy moving hotels wouldn't have been able to do. Food was more than adequate and plentiful although there was only really one choice unless you had specific dietary requirements. Naturally through personal taste some days were preferable to others but the staff were very obliging and you could always ask for a sandwich if you didn't like what was on offer. There were also extra helpings available if you fancied it and the BBQ nights were particular favourites with us.

The staff were all so friendly and couldn't have been more accommodating. When we were at sea we had lectures on different subjects such as the great explorers such as Shackleton and Amundsen as well as on the different types of penguins and seals and these were all of a high quality. We typically had a 1 or 2 lectures a day depending planned landings for the day.

Antartica with swan Sh daina It was very nice trip Antarctica is the best the peninsula Island so many places and very peaceful in groups very good staff we are Indian before with use Kareena Village so we have worried about our food but the Hair Stop Mr Amit Rao is very best and very kind he prepared our food for 11 days because of we done all activities peacefully there is Mr Alex and vish who is helping us for all itinerary because we don't know better English language he guide us well and he's very kind person
