Antarctica
An adventurer’s dream
You’ve traveled to the many cities of the world, and perhaps even gone on a few treks to the remote parts of the globe -- so the natural next step is to visit one of the wildest and most uninhabited parts of Earth. When you travel to Antarctica, you’re embarking on an adventurer’s adventure, filled with stunning sights of glaciers and wildlife. This trip is not your typical vacation of sipping coffee in cafes or going shopping for the latest fashions -- instead, it’s all about the natural wonders.
What to do
When you travel to Antarctica, you’ll typically begin with a cruise that departs from the southern tip of the South American continent. The ships you’ll travel on will have an itinerary all planned out for you, including excursions off the ship to see seabirds, penguins and other wildlife along the shores, as well as other photo opportunities alongside giant glaciers and more.
You can also choose additional excursions that can include camping on one of Antarctica’s islands as well as visiting one of the continent’s research bases. On the ship, you’ll have access to delicious cuisine, onboard entertainment and lectures that will provide abundant details about the expeditions you’ll be part of. The trip from the tip of South America to the islands of Antarctica typically takes a few days, meaning the trip to the world’s most remote continent is typically an adventure that lasts a week or more.
Where to stay
Your Antarctica adventure will have you sleeping aboard a warm, cozy cruise liner each night. (Unless you decide to go for the camping excursion!) You’ll have your choice among numerous cabins, including spacious luxury cabins and more affordable below-deck options. Numerous sailings to Antarctica happen during the summer months -- but that’s typically the only time of year you can visit the bottom of the world. Other times of year the conditions are just too tough to make it a worthwhile visit.
