Welcome
to Antarctica
There are some travel experiences which words cannot adequately
describe, and a trip to Antarctica is certainly one of them. The
vastness of its beaches and the immensity of its ice shelves reinforce
the beautiful supremacy of nature. The wealth of distinct animals
you’ll encounter, with their own unique means of survival, is certain
to delight. The tales of Antarctic explorers and scientists – both past and present – are
absolutely captivating. The best way to truly immerse yourself in the untouched essence of
this intriguing land is aboard a Small Ship Expedition Cruise.
Le Soléal offers the ultimate luxury Antarctica cruising adventures. On board, you’ll be
accompanied by a knowledgeable and personable expedition team, who will join you on
surreal close-up encounters by Zodiac. Thanks to the ship’s boutique size and unrivalled
manoeuvrability, you’ll enjoy Antarctic experiences tailored to the unique situations in
which you find yourself. These holidays are nothing short of life-changing.
Travelling with the group from Adelaide, your Phil Hoffmann Travel tour escort will work
alongside an APT tour director to showcase Antarctica at its best, at absolutely no extra cost
to you. I invite you to follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s greatest adventurers as
you find your own unforgettable in Antarctica with APT and Phil Hoffmann Travel.
