Trip Brochure (PDF)
Antarctica is otherworldly and as far away from anything familiar as one can get. Glide around enormous tabular icebergs by Zodiac, walk along beaches covered with thousands of penguins, and kayak amid abundant wildlife. Cruise across the Drake Passage and spend six days exploring the Antarctic Peninsula and its surrounding islands. Travel under the leadership of an experienced expedition team whose expert knowledge of Antarctica’s waters will ensure the program takes advantage of the unexpected and enables travelers to gain a better understanding of the natural surroundings. An undersea specialist will capture rarely seen footage of life beneath the icy surface. Daily lectures and discussions complement activities and explorations.
