Antarctica Cruises

Antarctica Cruises are an experience unlike anything else. On one of our cruises to Antarctica, you will be able to see the Antarctic Peninsula and some of the South Shetland Islands. Antarctica tours and cruises start either directly from Ushuaia in Argentina’s Patagonia, and pass through the Beagle Channel, Cape Horn, and the Drake Passage, or take a flight first – from Punta Arenas (Chilean Patagonia) to King George Island. Cruising Antarctica means you’ll experience the coldest, highest, southernmost, windiest, driest, and most inhospitable continent. You’ll also have the opportunity to spot fascinating fauna includes penguins, many types of seal, sea lions, seabirds, and whales. We can also arrange pre- and post-cruise tours of Patagonia (Southern Argentina and Chile), where you will find glaciers and lakes, national parks, and snow-capped mountains.
