The Last Continent
Vast, silent, and still largely untouched — Antarctica’s remote interior reveals the immense scale and solitude of this extraordinary world.
Our Season
For only 11 weeks, between November and February, we fly directly from Cape Town to Antarctica, transporting guests, scientists and essential cargo. Limited to just 12 people per camp, every trip is both intimate and immersive. Thanks to a ground team of over 100 people — from engineers to chefs, doctors and high-mountain guides — we work around the clock to ensure your safety and comfort in the extremes.
Our Trips
After two decades of White Desert, it still inspires me to bring people into the heart of the most remote continent on Earth. Antarctica cannot help but have a powerful effect on you. It is not just the beauty or unimaginably large landscapes; it is the reconnection to nature in its purest form.

Our Camps
Polar Comfort
With only six suites per camp, we ensure every trip is high-touch and tailored to each guest. Indulge in meals prepared by gourmet chefs and wines crafted especially for our Antarctic climate. Though slightly different in design, each camp features heated pods, fresh running water, and uninterrupted views of the otherworldly landscape from your bed.
I think, now, that to see the world through this prism is to live the truest luxury of all.
