Affordable Antarctica
Cruising to Antarctica might be thrilling, but the price tag can be enough to give you the chills. Princess Cruises’ new 17-night voyages from Buenos Aires won’t break the bank but includes four days’ scenic cruising in the White Continent. True you can’t step ashore – that’s only allowed if ships have 500 passengers or less – but you’ll see loads of penguins and, with luck, whales. Once Antarctica is ticked off the list, Sapphire Princess heads to Stanley for a day in the Falkland Islands.
Book it: Princess Cruises (0344 338 8663) offers the 17-day Antarctica cruise from £1,999pp; departs December 1 and 18.
Champagne living on tap
Zip-lining, diving with great whites and kayaking await aboard Silversea’s luxury expedition ship Silver Cloud, which explores the wild side of Southern Africa on a voyage starting in Walvis Bay, Namibia, and ending 12 days later in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. There’s all-suite living and champagne on tap, while tours bypass cityscapes, instead giving passengers an active and cultural fix with trips inside caves, vigorous hikes (including up Cape Town’s Table Mountain), a night under canvas and plenty of wildlife encounters.
Book it: Silversea (0844 251 0837) offers the 12-day Walvis Bay to Port Elizabeth cruise from £9,700pp including flights; departs March 23.
