The polar regions, Earth's icy extremes, remain some of the most enigmatic and least explored areas on the planet. These pristine, frozen wildernesses, including Antarctica, are shrouded in mystery and beckon the intrepid traveler. Few have the privilege to set foot on these glistening white landscapes. However, with our meticulously crafted polar region tours, we can make your dream of exploring these frozen frontiers a reality.
One of the first things you'll notice is the remarkable diversity of wildlife that has adapted to thrive in these harsh environments. The polar regions, encompassing Antarctica and the Arctic, are home to an array of fascinating species. Antarctica and its surrounding islands are host to no less than seven species of penguins, while whales and seals rule the surrounding oceans, and albatrosses, terns, and petrels grace the polar skies. Fred. Olsen Travel Agents' polar region holidays offer a rare opportunity to observe these creatures up close and witness them in their natural habitat.
The unique scenery that unfolds before your eyes will leave an indelible mark on your soul. With icebergs gliding by and colossal glaciers blocking your path, breathtaking vistas await at every turn.
Whether you yearn for deep exploration with our immersive tours or prefer to leisurely soak in the surroundings aboard a 6* luxury cruise, Fred. Olsen Travel Agents offers polar region tours tailored to your abilities and desires.
Venture to the northern polar region and immerse yourself in an environment unlike any other on Earth. The UK's proximity to the Arctic Circle makes this region highly accessible via cruise or flight. Fred. Olsen Travel Agents presents an array of immersive tours that transport you to the heart of this icy wonderland.
The northern polar region encompasses various countries, each unique in its own right. Whether it's the majestic whales of Greenland's Disco Bay or the elusive polar bears of Spitsbergen, the Arctic offers a rare opportunity to witness some of the world's most elusive animals in their natural habitat. Here, you'll also encounter awe-inspiring landscapes, from calving icebergs to immense glaciers, thundering waterfalls, and even active volcanoes. And if fortune smiles upon you, the ethereal Northern Lights may grace the skies.
Venture slightly further afield to the US state of Alaska, covering over one million square kilometers. Despite its vastness, Alaska is home to just 500,000 permanent residents, leaving vast expanses of uninhabited plains, mountains, glaciers, and forests that will undoubtedly leave you in awe of this spectacular region.
