A Trip of a Lifetime

In Antarctica, everything is in a state of permanent flux; a slow moving primordial symphony of shifting snow and creeping ice. With the promise that no two expeditions will be alike, your vacation will assuredly be one of the most unique and exclusive experiences of your lifetime. You’ll enter the ranks of the legendary explorers, and the relatively few to date who’ve journeyed there. And depending on where you’ve already traveled, you might even join another mythical society—the exclusive group of travelers who’ve actually set foot on all seven continents.

Antarctica Experts

As your Antarctica travel specialists, we want to give you the opportunity to gain inspired & personal meaning from your trips. That's why we work with great partners like Silversea, National Geographic & Abercrombie & Kent. With their highly skilled crews & a diverse fleet consisting of intimately-scaled expedition ships, you're guaranteed to have breathtaking nature-based experiences in remote corners of the world. Let us match you with the right vessel & itinerary for the perfect escorted Antarctica cruise or tour vacation.

Unique Antarctica Experiences

Awaken your soul to the wonder of Antarctica with one of our Antarctic cruises or escorted tours. Revel in the beauty and overwhelming power of nature. Admire the staggering abundance of wildlife. Meet the personal challenge of reaching the earth’s last great wilderness frontier. You’ll cruise across seas of glass, passing giant prisms of ice riding an ink-blue sea. Fly instead of cruise, camp overnight on a glacier or kayak between the icebergs. We offer unique experiences from a range of travel companies.

Amazing Wildlife

With its towering blue icebergs, Antarctica is like a vast, open-air museum of ever-changing sculptures, as awe-inspiring as any natural wonder on earth. Navigate among these floating giants on a nimble Zodiac boat, an expert pilot/guide providing insight. Share the landscape with bellowing elephant seals and raucous rookeries of penguins, unafraid and unperturbed by your presence. See the emergence of penguin chicks and seal pups, whale sightings, and incredible light conditions for postcard worthy photography.

Top-Rated Antarctica Tour Packages & Expedition Cruises 2026-2027

2026 Escorted Antarctica ToursEmbark on unforgettable 2026 & 2027 escorted Antarctica tours to the awe-inspiring Antarctic Peninsula—one of the most remote and pristine destinations on Earth. This bucket-list journey takes you to the coldest, driest, and most untouched continent, visited only by scientists and adventurous travelers. Over 90% of Antarctica is covered in ice and surrounded by dramatic seascapes. Most Antarctica cruises and tours depart from Ushuaia, Argentina or Punta Arenas, Chile, offering three immersive travel styles:

  • Small Expedition Ship – ideal for intimate, expert-guided exploration
  • First-Class Cruise Ships – featuring award-winning service and comfort
  • Fly/Cruise Combinations – a stress-free way to skip the Drake Passage

Many of our best-selling Antarctica tours from Ushuaia include once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as camping on the ice, kayaking among icebergs, whale watching, and wildlife encounters with penguins and seals. If you're cruising to Antarctica, prepare for the legendary Drake Passage—also known as the Mar de Hoces—a 600-mile stretch of sea that’s both a rite of passage and a thrilling start to your journey. The crossing typically takes 48 hours and is known for its dramatic weather shifts, often referred to as the "Drake Shake."
