Wondrous things can happen at any moment on a polar voyage.

In Antarctica, everyone may suddenly rush to the deck to see a pod of humpback whales leaping and twisting amidst the ice floes. Or in the Arctic, a lone male polar bear can approach across the pack ice and pad gently alongside the boat, sniffing at the air with immense curiosity.

It is the sheer spontaneity of each day's events, along with the spectacular scenery for which the polar regions are rightly acclaimed, that gives expeditionary voyages their unrivalled dramatic essence.

It's always recommended to book well in advance for any polar journey as the best cabins soon get snapped up and there are also generous early booking offers available. For Antarctica, dates are already bookable for voyages as far ahead as March 2026 and for the Arctic, the summer 2025 season is already filling up.

We've been overwhelmed by the rapturous feedback that we receive from our clients visiting the polar regions. To discuss itinerary options, ship specifications and tailor-made trip extensions call us on 01392 221199 or email [email protected]

Happy travelling!

India is best avoided during the monsoon months of May to September, right?

Actually, it's Himalayan province of Ladakh lies beyond the reach of the rains and is at its very best during these summer months.

And with the cost of a tourist e-visa currently reduced from around $150 to just $10 until 30 September, a journey there is all the more attractive just now.

Namibia is one of Africa's lesser known travel destinations but is deserving of much greater recognition ...

There are certain countries that can go quietly ‘below the radar’ despite offering exceptional travel experiences and we have long found Namibia to be a great example of this. A land of breathtaking scenery and wildlife, Namibia often features in a rather unheralded fashion on lists of traveller...

Read about our hotly debated seven 'Continental Classics' -

We Nomads naturally discuss amongst ourselves (quite vigorously at times!) the relative merits of different trips. Our latest debate centred upon which travel journey would best showcase what each of the world’s great continents has to offer. It is of course a rather foolish notion to think that j...

Festive greetings!

If you're keen to discuss your travel plans for next year over the holiday period we remain open this week until 5pm on Friday 23rd December and we will then be on hand between Christmas and New Year from Wednesday 27th to Friday 29th December, so feel free to drop by or call us.

Based on recent enquiry trends, we hotly tip Canada, New Zealand, India, Costa Rica, Chile, Japan, Vietnam and Kenya to be amongst the most popular countries for our customers in the coming 12 months.

With Covid restrictions now fully removed for most destinations it's wonderful to be able to concentrate on the journey again - not the jabs.

Let's all raise a glass to that this Christmas!

Best wishes

Just returned from a trip to Brazil's Pantanal wetlands, Nomadic client Hugh Cullen has told us how he came face to face with a jaguar whilst walking close to his hotel. He says he and the jaguar gave each other a quick look and then parted their own way, but it was naturally an unnerving moment!

Hugh survived to return with some wondrous photos including this super shot of a watchful jaguar reclining on a riverside perch ...
