Guided by the experts on board, you will be introduced to the unique geography, flora and fauna of this remote region. As an extra incentive, book by 15th June and you could benefit from a special discount. Save up to £850 on the 1st November 2008 or 20th November 2008 departures. There has never been a better time to book your Antarctic experience.

Inca Trail permits selling fast

Customers thinking about trekking the Inca Trail this year are being advised to book quickly as permits for July are running out. We anticipate they will have all gone within 2 weeks! Since 2005, the Peruvian government have strictly limited the number of trekkers allowed on the Inca Trail in order to help protect the Machu Picchu Sanctuary for future generations. A limited number of permits are issued which sell out well in advance. Trips that include this unforgettable experience are 'Empire of the Inca ', 'Classic Peru', 'The Inca Trail', 'The High Inca Trail' and 'Active in the Andes'. We recommend that you book early to ensure your place on a trip.

Special message from Antarctica
Our Travel Consultant Angela just got back from Antarctica, this is what she has to say…
"My husband Clive and I both agree that there really is nowhere on Earth quite like Antarctica. The dazzling beauty of the Icebergs, glittering white or translucent blue took our breath away. And the wildlife is almost beyond belief. To go from the tranquillity of a fairy tale dawn where the only sound is porpoising penguins or a mother and calf humpback whale to the cacophony of a quarter of a million comical characters is pure joy. Antarctica is one of the most awe-inspiring places I've ever visited and is now a part of me for ever."

Our Worldwide Adventures have no single supplements, although the option to book a single room on most trips is available if you want to. This, plus the chance to meet other travellers in some of the world's most spectacular locations is a must! From gentle cultural discoveries to adrenaline filled adventures, we have a wide range of destinations and activities to suit your needs. For something close to home, try Europe, the Middle East or North Africa, or try Africa, Asia, South-East Asia, Latin America or North America if you want to go further.
