Discover Antarctica
Overview
Highlights
- This is our classic antarctica cruise, perfect for first-time explorers or seasoned adventurers, with several days to explore on the great white continent. for the extended 11-day version of this trip (with an extra day on the antarctic peninsula) see trip code ppdae.
- Enjoy the freedom to customise your trip with a wide range of optional activities. choose to explore the water on a kayaking expedition, sign up for a photography masterclass, or camp out overnight like a true polar explorer.
- Whereas most polar expeditions of this kind have a crew-to-passenger ratio of ten, 15 or 20 to one, peregrine expeditions on the ocean endeavour have an expedition crew member for every eight passengers for a greater personal touch
- Our experienced leaders have made hundreds of polar voyages. learn about the history, geography and wildlife of the antarctic from experts in marine biology, glaciology and history.
- Rest assured you will leave only footprints behind. your antarctica expedition is carbon offset, and we serve only sustainably-sourced seafood, avoid single-use plastics and use biodegradable and phosphate-free cleaning products on board.

Tour Operator
It’s been more than 36 years since our first small group set out to discover Nepal. It’s this heritage and our reputation that keeps travellers coming back time and time again.
We appeal to the well-travelled, discerning traveller. The one who chooses value over price, and wants to immerse themselves in a place instead of just ticking landmarks off a bucket list. The type of person who would rather stay in a family run B&B built in a 16th century Venetian convent than a forgettable hotel. We’re for travellers who want inclusions along the way instead of fiddling around for loose change.
Almost 20 years ago, Peregrine led an industry revolution by solely employing locally born leaders. This innovative approach gives our travellers a deeper insight into the countries they visit. Doorways are opened and a true understanding of the place is fostered.
At Peregrine, we travel in intimate groups and take the time to get under the skin of a destination. Of course we all want to see the Taj Mahal in India. But imagine then heading to a remote Rajasthani village and learning about rural life while in the company of locals. Seeing the famous sites is a must, but it’s often the memory of wandering through a small village or sharing dinner with a local family that will leave a lasting impact.
We promise to share our knowledge and expertise with you, and ensure you will come home with stories you will tell for years to come.
