Destinations in Antarctica

The Antarctic Peninsula
Antarctica, known as the 7th Continent, is one of the most pristine wilderness areas on earth. As you cruise the spectacular waters around the peninsula you will see icebergs in all shapes and sizes, even ice bridges and massive sheets of ice. Jagged mountain peaks rise ten thousand feet out of the sea, and towering glaciers drop giant chunks into the water below.

Crossing the Antarctic Circle
Crossing the Antarctic Circle will put you in rare company — Very few travelers have been below the Antarctic Circle. Enjoy the wildlife of the Peninsula and colossal icebergs along the way. The farther south we go, the more sea ice we are likely to encounter.

The South Pole
Fly to the South Pole, and stand at 90° South, the ultimate goal of polar explorers Amundsen and Scott. Availability is limited to experience this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Our tented camp at the South Pole is designed to provide as much comfort and security as possible given the extreme environment.
