professional and independent advice to help you select the

Alex BurridgeManaging Director
In 2001 I undertook the first of many voyages to Antarctica, Falkland Islands, South Georgia and later the same year to the
High Arctic (Svalbard/Spitsbergen). My experience and knowledge gained whilst working for several Polar ship operators, allows us to offer expert, independent, advice to ensure your trip south really is as special as it should be.
Jennifer BoydMy inaugural cruise to Antarctica was in 2004, the experience was beyond all of my expectations. Magnificent glaciers, beautiful icebergs, impressive mountains
and the wildlife encounters all contribute to the allure of the Antarctic continent. The second time round I experienced kayaking and camping on the ice as well finally experiencing the polar plunge.
Alana LewthwaiteMy experience in Antarctica can be described as nothing short of amazing. Taking a 2 hour flight from Punta Arenas, Chile in a purpose-built BAe-146 plane to King George Island in the South
Shetlands. From King George Island, it was straight onto a Zodiac to board the waiting MV Ocean Nova, a 68-passenger ship with all the amenities needed for an exciting journey along the Antarctic Peninsula.
Hayley CrowdenIn 2015 I realised a lifelong ambition of travelling to Antarctica. I was fortunate enough to also visit the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, which I have to admit was my favourite
(much to the chagrin of some Antarctic aficionados). Gold Harbour on the southern tip of South Georgia has to be one of the most stunning places on our planet.
Rachel CallusIn March 2017 I was lucky enough to visit Antarctica, South Georgia & Falkland Islands on-board the Luxury/ Expedition ship Sea Spirit. It was fantastic – mind blowing actually
(occasionally literally – the winds down South have nothing to stop them). Nature lovers, history buffs, geology enthusiasts – every one of them will be overwhelmed by what they see it really was a trip of a lifetime and an experience of my life. I’d love to share with you my new-found experiences.
Cinzia MuccianteI recently returned from the Canadian High Arctic (Baffin Island and Greenland) – I struggle to find words to describe just how amazing the trip was. The scenery,
the wildlife, the expedition crew and the ship were all amazing. I didn’t realise just how powerful the ice would be, massive glaciers and near Illulisat thousands of icebergs.

OVERVIEWThe 50 Years of Victory is the largest and most modern and powerful nuclear-powered icebreaker in the world. The “Victory” is a new (launched in 1993) generation ship, an upgrade of the Arktika-class. The spoon-shaped bow of the “Victory” is designed for greater icebreaking ability and makes the ship capable to force its way through 2.5 meters thick ice fields.
OVERVIEWThe Kapitan Khlebnikov combines power and technology with comfort and has 52 en-suite cabins and a maximum of 110 guests. The Kapitan Khlebnikov has two helicopters to take passengers on excursions. It ’s these helicopters that transport guests from the ship, ‘parked’ in sea-ice, closer to the Emperor penguin rookery on fast sea-ice close to Snow Hill Island.

Please read the following booking conditions carefully and make sure you understand them before booking your holiday. By paying your non-refundable deposit to Talior-Made Journeys Pty Ltd trading as Antarctica Travel Centre (including Arctic Travel Centre) you are accepting these conditions.
1. Tour costsCosts are based on ground costs, airfares and exchange rates at the time of booking. While we make every effort not to increase prices, in the event of exchange rate fluctuations, increases in hotel rates, airfares, entrance fees, fuel costs or increases in ground operator fees, we reserve the right to amend our prices, with or without notice, at any time up to and including the day of departure. Acceptance of this arrangement is an express condition of making a booking.
RatesFares are quoted in US dollars (US$ – Ocean Nova, Hebridean Sky, Island Sky, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, Akademik Ioffe, 50 Years of Victory and Sea Spirit) and Australian Dollars (AU$ – National Geographic Explorer, Silver Explorer, Silver Cloud,l, Le Soréal, Le Boréal).
Rates for voyages, flights are based on tariffs and exchange rates in effect at the time booking and are subject to change prior to departure. Substantial changes in tariffs, exchange rates and the price of fuel, services and labour sometimes increase the cost of expedition arrangements significantly. Antarctica Travel Centre reserves the right to alter prices or introduce surcharges accordingly, even if payment has been received in full. All travellers are required to pay for their excursions and additional purchases in conjunction with their excursions in the same currency.
Discounts and Promotions; Antarctica Travel Centre has the right to limit, withdraw or change any and/or all discounts and promotions without notice and/or compensation.

Any changes requested by you after final documentation has been issued will incur a fee of $150.00 per booking plus any other fees levied by hotels, ground/cruise operators and/or airlines.

Where it is necessary to change a hotel, we reserve the right to substitute accommodation of a similar standard. No refund will be available in the event of an itinerary or hotel change. The itinerary described is subject to change at the discretion of the ship’s Captain and voyage Expedition Leader. This is an expedition to a remote part of the world and the ship operator reserves the right to change the itinerary due to weather conditions, availability of anchorages, political conditions or other factors beyond its control, without consulting the traveller.
