The last great wilderness on earth, taking an Antarctic adventure holiday gives you the chance to see a part of the world almost untouched by human influence. Antarctica is a region of starkly dramatic scenery with thundering glaciers, towering icebergs and mountains so improbably jagged that anywhere else they would be famous; in Antarctica often they don't even have a name. The wildlife of Antarctica is a major draw, such as the extraordinary penguin colonies, or beaches that are home to vast numbers of seals. Antarctic cruises offer plenty of opportunities to travel ashore by dinghy and set foot on this most remarkable of continents.

Asia is a place that can be summed up by its dramatic cultural contrasts. This enormous continent, now home to the two most populous nations on the planet – China and India – is filled with rich varieties of landscapes and a wealth of cultures.
