Antarctica

The coldest and windiest place on earth

With ice as deep as three miles and as old as three million years, it is your calling only if you are a brave heart and an intrepid traveller. When not exploring the ice fields or visiting penguins, you will learn all about the surroundings during daily briefings from the ship's experts on history, geology and wildlife. Most luxury voyages in the region are 11 nights or 15 nights' expedition cruises.

TIC Recommends:

If you have the passion, but not the time, The Intrepid Club can help. You can experience the last great wilderness on earth in just a single day! Be a part of an elite group of a select few who fly into the very heart of Antarctica, and return the next day.

Canal Barging

A European Cruise experience with a difference

The experience of canal barging- a specific European cruise that has gained the loyal following of sophisticated travellers, but is still unknown to many. This kind of vacation is something special - a way to see the beautiful European countryside from the water without the drawbacks of a cruise. Barging is a type of cruise that takes place on small boats that wind their way through Europe’s manmade canals, some of which were built in the 16th century. The days are filled with activities that enable you to delve into rural areas, artisans culture and laid-back lifestyle.

TIC Recommends
