Explore the White Continent in style on a luxury Antarctica tour
Antarctica, a great, largely untouched beauty, remains one of the world’s most alluring places and a crucial outpost of wilderness in the modern age. It is a truly magnificent and pristine continent, with stunning scenery and wildlife and our team of experienced travel designers are ready to plan a bespoke Antarctica expedition just for you. Few destinations can compare in the spirit of adventure and sense of accomplishment you feel having explored the spectacular terrain of the White Continent.
We have selected the finest means of visiting this grand location. Classic Antarctica cruises will bring you around the shimmering Antarctic Peninsula while an extended cruise will let you journey further, typically including visits to the Falkland Islands, South Georgia home of the king penguin, and tracing the historic path of explorer Shackleton.
If you have the time, you can cross the Drake Passage and arrive in Antarctica by boat. But for those with a limited period in which to travel, skip the Drake with a fly-cruise and fly straight to the Antarctic Peninsula to board your expedition vessel at King George Island to maximise your time here. No matter how you prefer to get there, let Jacada help you to discover this incredible region with a bespoke itinerary, contact us today.

When to visit Antarctica
The best time to go to Antarctica is during its summer season, which lasts from November to March. December and January are the best time to go for wildlife spotting. From mid to late December the penguin chicks start to hatch, and in January you will catch the the feeding frenzy that ensues. February to early March is the best time to spot whales, and there are generally a good number of fur seals to be seen too.
