Antarctica & South Georgia, Antarctic Peninsula, Ross Sea Region

Antarctica

Antarctica small ship cruises offer a unique way to explore the world's southernmost continent, allowing for intimate encounters with its stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife. Departing from Ushuaia, Argentina, or Punta Arenas, Chile, these expeditions often include the Antarctic Peninsula, known for its relatively mild climate and easy access. Many cruises also offer fly/sail options to bypass the Drake Passage, reducing sea travel time. Activities on these voyages can include Zodiac cruises among icebergs, wildlife observation, and visits to research stations.

Extended itineraries might explore the remote Ross Sea or the wildlife-rich islands of South Georgia and the Falklands. With durations ranging from 5 to over 30 days, there’s an expedition to suit various interests and timeframes, providing a comprehensive experience of Antarctica's untouched wilderness and its incredible inhabitants.
