Antarctic

A vast mass of white wilderness, Antarctica is unique as the world’s driest, coldest, and windiest continent at the southernmost part of the world. Its vastness of snow, ice, rock and water is astounding and humbling; an incomparable experience. Populated by penguins of many different varieties, and a smorgasbord of seals, whales, and literally millions of nesting birds every spring (including albatrosses, gulls and terns), Antarctica’s wildlife is one of its main attractions, while kayaking around icebergs or helicopter tours over this astonishing continent are also must-do activities for many visitors.
The 'White Continent', Antarctica is very much the final frontier, and is an entirely unique destination well off the beaten track and experienced by the very lucky few following in the footsteps of the great explorers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many Antarctic voyages start from the southernmost tip of South America, crossing the notorious Cape Horn, navigating the Drake Passage or the Magellan Strait, and sometimes combined with the Chilean fjords.
An Antarctic cruise offers up nature in its most pristine and rugged state, and the unforgettable chance to observe whales, penguins, seals and albatross as you sail past towering ice bergs. You'll be joined by naturalists and expedition leaders offering lectures and leading sightseeing excursions, taking you up close to Antarctic wildlife, or kayaking in the Antarctic Peninsula, and so much more. Some voyages include the Falkland Islands and the South Shetland Islands. Generally, the Antarctic cruise season is between November and March.
