Antarctica is an ecological wonder that has bewitched explorers, scientists and voyagers alike for two centuries. This fascinating territory contains more than 90% of the earth’s land ice, which transforms it into the largest fresh water reserve on earth. Among the main species that make up marine Antarctic fauna are whales, seals, penguins as well as a variety of sea birds.

Your adventure to the seventh continent will allow you to meet these incredible creatures while enjoying the indelible scenery of mountainous glaciers and roaming icebergs. Antarctica’s matchless beauty and extreme climate conditions make this one of the most exotic destinations in the world.

Gone are the days of having to catch a small vessel down to Antarctica with a boatload of burly Russians! These days, cruise lines offer guests a luxurious and life changing journey.

There are two cruise experiences when it comes to Antarctica voyages which is helpful when planning - expedition cruises and scenic cruises. Expedition cruises are for the more active with zodiac adventures and shore landings. Scenic cruises offer guests the chance to still experience Antarctica whilst staying on the ship. To complement your Antarctica voyage, there are a myriad of land options to consider pre and post cruise in South America including a 3 night package to the iconic Iguazu Falls, nights pre and post cruise in vibrant Buenos Aires and Santiago or a 6-7 day Peru tour taking in the mystical Machu Picchu. For those that have the time, you can do all the above and more!
