Antarctica Adventure Travel & Tours

Remote and rugged Antarctica, with its monumental and otherworldly scenery, is beautiful in an almost inconceivable way. Perhaps the equally astonishing part of a trip to Antarctica is the dazzling array of wildlife—leopard seals, orcas, seabirds, and more—that inhabits this seemingly barren landscape of glaciers and ice-bound ridges. Our experienced staff guides you on a once-in-a-lifetime luxury Antarctica cruise, sailing south on comfortable ships, weaving through sea-mountain passages.

Zodiac ashore to hike, photograph, take in the triumphant wildlife, and even camp or ski.
Skip the tumultuous Drake Passage and fly from Chile to Antarctica for a shorter trip.
See penguins: Gentoo, Chin-strap, Adele, and possibly King and Emperor Penguins all inhabit the continent.
Do citizen science on board, helping researchers gather data about the frozen continent.
