Antarctica & Arctic Expeditions

Not a cruise.
An expedition.

A polar expedition takes you into some of the most remote environments on Earth — travelling aboard purpose-built expedition vessels and exploring by Zodiac, on foot and through guided activities.

From penguin colonies and immense glaciers in Antarctica to Arctic wildlife, Greenland, Svalbard and the High Arctic, every voyage is shaped by weather, ice and wildlife.

MICE Holidays helps Malaysian travellers understand the different ships, routes, cabin categories, seasons and expedition styles before choosing the right journey.
