Testimonials

"This is an exciting experience enhanced by the enthusiasm and skill which Polar Holidays devotes to their clients. They are not only knowledgeable but kind and patient when helping select the right cruise – there are so many of them! They treat their clients with respect and care to detail. I would have no reservations about joining him on another trip after Antarctica and South Georgia."

"I have been fortunate to have booked through Polar Holidays for 2 tours, one to the polar bears in Spitzbergen and another to Antarctica. They are knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful, not only in the country in which you are traveling but also with their photographic knowledge. They go beyond the regular help and made both of these trips memorable. The photo they sent me after the cruise rocks!"

"We worked with a fantastic trip planner/coordinator at Polar Holidays– very knowledgeable about Antarctica and the Arctic. Polar Holidays makes it easy to travel so that we could focus on the trip adventure and experience. Thomas is regularly on these trips, so he was able to help us select among the large number of available cruises available – we were initially overwhelmed by the choices!

"I have traveled with Polar Holidays twice to Antarctic to photograph the penguins and once to the Arctic to see the polar bear babies. I enjoyed all three immensely, Polar Holidays was attentive to every detail and made sure we all got to South America, despite any challenge due to weather delays. That door-to-door service made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. Thanks Thomas and Polar Holidays!"
