Journey to the ends of the Earth, where ice, snow and endless white horizons stretch as far as the eye can see. The Arctic and Antarctica aren’t just destinations - they’re adventures of a lifetime, offering encounters with extraordinary wildlife and the thrill of exploring some of the last great frontiers on Earth; untamed, unforgiving and breathtakingly pristine.

At the very extremes of our planet, the polar regions have long lured daring explorers. In the Arctic, drifting pack ice and tundra landscapes meet towering glaciers, while the Antarctic dazzles with monumental icebergs, snow-clad mountains and endless white vistas.

Witnessing the inhabitants of these icy lands is a highlight of every expedition. In the Arctic, look out for polar bears, curious seals, walruses and a variety of seabird species. In Antarctica, penguins waddle along the beaches, seals bask on the ice and whales glide beneath the icy waters. Each encounter brings you closer to the extraordinary life that thrives in these frozen realms.

A KE Adventure cruise brings you right into the heart of these jaw-dropping landscapes, with expert-led voyages that combine comfort and discovery. From zodiac and kayak excursions weaving through sculpted ice, to landings on remote shores to walk and snowshoe among the unique wildlife, we offer the chance to experience the raw beauty of these polar regions up close.

In true KE Adventure style, the ships we use are small expedition craft. Their size allows them to explore the shallower inlets that larger boats cannot reach. They carry fewer passengers, which allows more opportunities to explore the frozen landscapes. These include the beautiful 3-mast schooner, Rembrandt van Rijn, in Svalbard, and a variety of ships including the MS Expedition, MV Plancius, and MV Ortelius in Antarctica. All boats have expert expedition leaders on board.

Step aboard and discover the polar world like never before, where wildlife encounters, glacial views and unforgettable adventures await.
