Antarctica

Experience the White Continent

Towering icebergs, penguin colonies and a silence found nowhere else. An Antarctic expedition cruise crosses the Drake Passage to the White Continent for the journey of a lifetime.

Discover Antarctica

Antarctic cruises sail from November to March, the austral summer, most often from Ushuaia in Argentina across the Drake Passage to the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. Expedition ships carry small numbers of guests so they can land by Zodiac, cruise among icebergs and visit penguin colonies under strict environmental guidelines. Longer voyages add the Falkland Islands and South Georgia, famous for its vast king penguin colonies.
