Antarctica, one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places on the planet! You can be there in all the luxury of Explore Cruises' fabulous food, elegant state rooms, and on-board activities. We also offer daily lectures on the continent's wildlife and geology. A cruise ship is the best way to see Antarctica because most of the wildlife is found in dangerous spots. How would you like to see penguins, seals, and whales playing in water beneath gigantic icebergs? Or sight whales and albatross following the ship? The tourist season is only from November through February because the rest of the year is too cold, icy, and dark for travel. In December, you'll see hatching penguins and baby chicks.
In February, fledging chicks waddle on shore. The 10-day adventure begins at Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, where you'll board ship. On 4 of the 10 days, you'll take land excursions. If conditions are right, you'll be swimming in hot springs on one of these stops. This is the trip of a lifetime!
