Australia's Leading Polar Expedition and Cruise Specialist

Since the early 1990's we have pioneered the use of icebreakers and ice-strengthened ships to carry travellers deep into the Antarctic and Arctic in safety and comfort. Bringing together international specialists on everything from polar exploration and history to birds and marine life, we provide the context and hands-on leadership you need to fully appreciate the extreme regions of the north and south. Whether you're exploring a remote shore where no one may have walked before, sighting a whale from a Zodiac or watching your powerful ship plow through pack ice, you'll discover the Polar regions not as a passing vista, but as immediate, vital, constantly changing environments - diverse places where the indescribable mystery of raw nature can still be experienced firsthand.

An invitation to travel in small groups or independently

If touring in a traditional large group isn't for you and the idea of sorting it all out for yourself doesn't appeal, a small group journey might be just the answer. As part of an Adventure Associates' smaller group, you'll experience a totally free style of travel. A different kind of attitude and a far more personal experience awaits you. And, you'll be traveling with likeminded folk from your own country.

For those who prefer to travel independently, yet follow our same unique itineraries we can organise independent departures. Simply let us know the date you'd like to depart and we'll create a special independent tour to suit your plans. For guidance an Adventure Associates travel specialist is always on hand to help work out what's best for you.
