What is a Luxury Antarctica Cruise?
Every person's idea of a luxury cruise is different, for some it's a luxury to have state of the art facilities on board and for others it's simply a smaller cruise which has a personal touch. It truly varies from person to person. Our accommodation and style of ships is frequently scrutinized by our staff, ensuring the cruises we offer adhere to our high standards. For that reason we have split our luxury cruising options into two categories: Superior and Deluxe.
Superior Antarctica Cruises
Superior cruises to Antarctica have decent accommodation, with above average facilities and service. This is by far our most popular category, with ships such as the Ocean Atlantic, Ultramarine, and the Ocean Adventurer all classed as Superior vessels. You can expect plenty of care and attention from the ship's crew, highly qualified expedition staff and excellent cuisine and bar options.
Deluxe Antarctica Cruises
Deluxe cruises to Antarctica have outstanding accommodation, with impeccable facilities and service. This is the crème de la crème of cruising options to Antarctica, with ships such as Le Commandant Charcot, Le Boreal and it's sister ships Le Lyrial, Le Soléal and L'Austral all classed as deluxe. As well as a hugely accomplished staff and crew in terms of knowledge, safety and service, you can also expect to have the more sophisticated creature comforts. These Antarctic ships are in a league of their own, with personalized butler service, immense lecture theatres, pampered beauty treatments and exceptional culinary delights, your cruise to Antarctica is truly luxurious in every aspect.
