About Antarctica

Antarctica heightens all your senses. Wake to sculpted icebergs in every luminescent hue of ivory, blue, green, and silver floating past your cabin window. Chart your route south and chat with the captain as black-browed albatrosses escort you at eye level. On Zodiac cruises, see your exhilaration mirrored on the faces of your new lifelong friends as you come upon a lazing leopard seal who snorts and stares nonchalantly back at you. Sync your breath with a humpback whale gliding past your kayak. Visit penguin rookeries to spot newly-hatched gentoo chicks, just learning to waddle, chase a parent for a meal. Time travel with legendary explorers Shackleton, Scott, and Amundsen, but in significantly more comfortable berths. Hear the gunshot-crack of a calving glacier. Lift your face to the Southern Ocean’s summer sun until late in the evening, when it barely dips below the horizon. Antarctica doesn’t call to everyone; so when she whispers to you, listen.

Testimonials

Julie M. - River Forest, IL
Antarctica Peninsula
"I am not sure where to begin, Antarctica exceeded our expectations. The most memorable was just the vastness of the ice and the continent. The penguins were adorable and the activities were spot on. Above and beyond, I actually did not expect it to be so nice. Staff and naturalist did everything to make you feel special. And the service staff in the dining room, amazing, they knew your name, what you liked to drink, they were incredible."
Rob C. - Tucson, AZ

Then, they followed through with all the travel support we needed to do the detailed planning for our trip."
Philis E. - Miami, FL
Antarctic Peninsula
"This was a once in a lifetime experience. Absolutely a 10! We really experienced Antarctica fully, from wildlife to kayaking to icebergs and glaciers calving to walking on ice. The staff were outstanding - so informed, educated and eager to share their experiences and knowledge. I have been on lots of trips, and these naturalists were the best educated and most well spoken I've ever come across - anywhere. And the most eager to share their knowledge. And they were personable and friendly to boot!"
