Expedition Cruise

Antarctica

The last true wilderness on Earth

12-16 nights
From $7,200/pp
Best: November - March

Antarctica is not a destination you visit. It is a place that changes how you see the world. The white continent sits at the bottom of the earth, untouched by permanent human habitation, governed only by international treaty and the patience of ice.

Your expedition begins with the Drake Passage — two days of open ocean that serve as both threshold and rite of passage. When you emerge on the other side, the Antarctic Peninsula reveals itself in shades of blue and white that no photograph has ever captured accurately.

What Makes This Journey Different

Every expedition cruise to Antarctica follows a similar route, but the experience depends entirely on who is guiding you. Our preferred expedition partners — HX Expeditions and Silversea — deploy teams of marine biologists, glaciologists, and polar historians who transform every Zodiac landing into a masterclass.

You will walk among colonies of gentoo and chinstrap penguins. You will kayak in waters so still that icebergs reflect perfectly. You will hear the crack and groan of glaciers calving into the sea. And you will do all of this with a team of experts who have spent their careers in these waters.

The Group Advantage

Antarctica expeditions are uniquely suited to group travel. Ships are small (typically 200-500 passengers), the shared experience is profound, and group rates unlock cabin upgrades and onboard credits that individual bookings cannot access.
