White Desert

EXPLORED THE INTERIOR OF THE GREAT WHITE CONTINENT

Become one of the few. One of the few people ever to have explored the interior of the great white continent at the bottom of the world. It was during a 1,850 km traverse across the continent that a simple, but devastatingly attractive idea occurred to the founders of White Desert. Why didn’t they share their astounding experience with more of their fellow human beings?

Plenty of excellent cruises will take you to the shores of the continent, but if you turn your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Antarctica into a White Desert experience you will be able to explore the interior. And you will feel incredibly small – a mere black speck appearing on the immensity of white. You will stand on high crags, surveying great swirls of endless snow desert, easily imagining that you are the only living person ever to have seen such an awe-striking sight. Interesting? If you’re a true adventurer, the prospect is irresistible.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91�� and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“YES TO ULTIMATE – AND YES AGAIN”

This was our second big trip with 91�� – and we’d happily use them again and again. The customer service is excellent: they really listen to what you want and make it happen. Their on-the-ground support, wherever you’re headed, is just as strong. Everything was seamless. Highly recommend.
