Antarctica is one of the most extraordinary places on Earth — raw, vast, and unlike anywhere else. You're invited to join this small, hosted group of just 16 guests, with Karen Ridge escorting right from Australia. From the moment you depart, you will have support every step of the way — perfect for solo travellers, or anyone who would simply feel more comfortable travelling with an experienced escort and a like-minded group.

With more than 30 years in the travel industry and personal experience of Antarctica herself, Karen has the knowledge and connections to ensure a seamless, fully supported and genuinely unforgettable journey. All you have to do is show up.

Travelling with HX Expeditions aboard MS Fridtjof Nansen, this voyage takes a privileged group into the heart of the White Continent — past towering icebergs, into penguin colonies, and alongside some of the world's most extraordinary wildlife.
