Antarctica21

We just had the most AMAZING cruise on the Magellan Explorer. Despite a storm approaching, the team flew us out a day early, jugged us on board and escaped the weather just in time. We had an extra day on the cruise, sea kayaked 5 times (including an amazing cave on Spelt island) - had the best weather - and the FABULOUS team around Rickard just made everything absolutely fantastic. The rooms were spotless, the meals amazing, the entire staff just lovely and attentive. A trip of a lifetime - these guys are top-notch! THANK YOU!

Staff, both house keeping, expedition leaders and ship crew were knowledgeable, friendly and professional. We had an incredible experience absolutely enhanced by some serious hardwork. Safety is a clear priority and amen for that, as we all live to holiday another day having gone where many have died before us! (Maybe read up on the interesting history of Antarctica exploration before booking). Just a gentle reminder: the runway in/out is gravel and has no flight tower therefore the skilled pilot/airline taking you in/out of Antarctica has to use their eyeballs not the usual technology to achieve a safe flight. Anyone with a brain and who has experience of the outdoors in a variety of places will understand that nature can be massively unpredictable and this could potentially have an impact on your trip to Antarctica. It is, after all, Antarctica not the Mediterranean. If you want to make sure you have a trip that is exactly 5/10/14 days, whatever, and is glued to an itinerary like a rinse and repeat McDonald's menu then this is not a trip for you. You are going to Antarctica not to your local Tesco for some frozen peas.

Consummate professionals delivering a superior experience. Our trip with A21 was an exceptional experience from start to finish. They combine meticulous attention to detail and a strong safety culture with a genuinely fun, engaging expedition atmosphere. The team’s deep knowledge of Antarctica and polar operations was evident every day, and their confidence and professionalism allowed everyone to relax and fully enjoy the adventure. The trip felt seamless, well-run, and truly special. We would happily recommend Antarctica 21 to anyone considering an expedition to Antarctica.

Just finished an Antarctica exploration with Antarctica21. It was an amazing experience. The majestic beauty of this continent is beyond words. I chose a small ship trip because these ships can get into places and through passages that the large cruise ships cannot. Also, if your ship holds more than 400 passengers you can only disembark 100 at a time which limits your time on land and how many places you can see. We had 64 passengers so everyone could enjoy every stop with ease and spend the time they wanted to. We stopped twice a day at incredible landing sites. We saw whales everyday as well as seals, penguins and cormorants. The he scenery took my breath away. On ship we had daily recaps and science lectures from the staff. Our meals were wonderful and the dinners had incredible choices to choose from with each being delicious. The staff were friendly and professional and had our safety and enjoyment upmost in their minds. They even arrange an Antarctica polar plunge into the ocean which was “very refreshing”. I cannot say enough about this group. Absolutely check these people Out when you plan the adventure of a lifetime to explore Antarctica.

Can’t say enough about our recent Antarctica express air cruise! What an adventure, and perfect for those who can’t afford to take weeks of leave from work but still want to experience the 7th continent safely and comfortably. Every member of the staff was dedicated to our comfort and acted in every way to ensure each guest had a positive experience. The Ocean Nova is an older smaller expedition ship and after this experience I may never get on a bigger ship again. It was THAT positive. AND at a significant savings over the big lines! If you are thinking you’d love to go to Antarctica but you don’t have weeks of vacation, please don’t delay, you only live once! Check out Antarctica 21!

Just finished an incredible expedition-cruise with Antarctica21. What a great time we had. The ship is wonderful. The expedition guides were over the top. They really are knowledgeable about Antarctica. They are very competent and we felt 100% safe at all times. The smaller size of our ship made sure we had plenty of time for the excursions. Overall, we had a great time in Antarctica with Antarctica21!

A truly once-in-a-lifetime journey. A big thank you to Antarctica21 for providing such an incredible and unforgettable experience. This has unquestionably been the best adventure I’ve ever had! To the team at Antarctica21 who assisted with booking, I deeply appreciate your patience, prompt responses, and detailed information. And to the crew aboard the Magellan Explorer polar vessel, THANK YOU for making this an exceptional and memorable journey. Each one of you contributed greatly to making this trip the best one yet. I highly recommend it – 10/10!

To say this was the perfect trip would be an understatement. Yes the weather was amazing and the animals showed up, but it was the staff that made it. They cared. A lot. They cared about our experience and they cared about Antarctica and its animals. Pablo, Sofi, Sergie, The Iceman, Tennessee and the rest were all so great. The rooms were perfect and the food amazing. The hotel staff were so friendly, caring, professional and awesome. Also, do the kayaking, it's incredible. 11/10 experience. Thank you A21!
