Antarctica is one of the most remote, awe-inspiring destinations on Earth, but reaching it doesn’t have to mean sacrificing comfort. With decades of experience and strong partnerships as a top producer for the world’s leading expedition cruise lines, Tully Luxury Travel ensures our clients experience the White Continent in unmatched style. Today’s luxury expedition cruises combine the thrill of discovery with world-class amenities, creating expeditions where every landing feels adventurous yet effortless. For discerning travelers, the question isn’t whether to go; but which Antarctica cruise offers the most comfort and access.
What to Expect on a Luxury Antarctica Cruise
Spacious, All-Suite Accommodations
Unlike traditional expedition vessels, luxury ships such as Silversea, Seabourn, and PONANT feature suites with private verandas, marble bathrooms, and attentive butler service—your private retreat at the end of each day.
Michelin-Level Dining & Personalized Service
Expect globally inspired menus, curated wine pairings, and the attention of staff who know your preferences from the moment you step onboard. It’s an experience closer to a five-star hotel than a research ship.
Expert-Led Expeditions
Expedition leaders including scientists, glaciologists, and naturalists accompany every landing. Whether you’re kayaking alongside icebergs or stepping onto penguin-filled shores, your experience is enriched with insider knowledge.
Access: The Drake Passage or Antarctic Bridge
For the ultimate in comfort, Silversea’s Antarctic Bridge allows guests to fly directly from Punta Arenas, Chile, to King George Island, bypassing the notoriously rough Drake Passage and saving two days at sea for more time immersed in Antarctica’s wonders. Guests enjoy a pre-cruise luxury hotel stay in Punta Arenas, ensuring a seamless, stress-free transition before their Antarctic flight.
Luxury Ships That Redefine Antarctica Cruises
For those who embrace the crossing, today’s luxury ships are equipped with advanced stabilizers to ensure a smooth passage, with the reward of spotting albatross and whales along the way. Once there, a new generation of vessels redefines comfort: Silversea’s Silver Endeavour, with its state-of-the-art design and all-veranda suites; Seabourn Venture, offering submarines and kayaks for unmatched exploration; and Ponant’s Le Commandant Charcot, a hybrid-powered, eco-conscious icebreaker infused with French flair.
