Polar Tours

Polar tours explore the Arctic and Antarctic regions, offering unique wildlife encounters and stunning natural vistas in some of the most remote parts of the world. 

Some Polar tour packages include flights, while others don't. Check the package details and chat with your Travel Expert to include flights in your booking. 

Visa requirements will depend on the departure port country. Check specific visa requirements for each country online or by chatting with your Flight Centre Travel Expert. 

Most Polar tours will include meals (restaurant options out that way are pretty limited, after all), however full inclusions will vary between packages. Check your itinerary to confirm what is included for your trip so that you can prepare accordingly for the remainder of the meals.

Some tours offer family-friendly options, but it is advisable to check age suitability due to the remote nature of these regions. If in doubt, chat with yourFlight Centre Travel Expert to find the right Polar tour option for your family.

Yes, Polar tours prioritise safety with experienced guides and proper equipment. If in doubt, we recommend you follow travel advisories, keep up to date with local guidelines and use common sense. (P.S. Don’t forget to grab some travel insurance, that way you’re covered in case something does go wrong).

Chances are it’s gonna be pretty cold, so pack warm, layered clothing and waterproof, insulated footwear. Tour providers will generally provide a more detailed packing list, so check that out to ensure you’re not missing any essentials. 

Tours range from a week to three weeks, depending on the itinerary. Got more time up your sleeve? Chat with our travel experts about extending your trip or even tacking on another tour.

Polar tour activities often include wildlife viewing, glacier walks, polar plunges and Zodiac excursions.

Travel insurance is generally not included in the tour package itself. With that in mind, it’s still an important part of your holiday, so chat with our Travel Experts about including it as part of your booking total.
