Antarctica cruises

While Antarctica remains the most pristine wilderness visited only by a privileged few; there are a growing number of ways to get to this magnificent area, via specialist Antarctic tour expedition companies.

Small ice-strengthened vessels can navigate their way through Antarctica's icy waters, deep into the bays and channels that only open up for a few warmer months each year. A few elite, well-equipped expedition cruise ships depart Argentina's southern tip, Ushuaia, between November and March, heading either across the notorious Drakes Passage or via the wildlife-rich eastern islands of the Falklands and South Georgia.
