Small Ship Cruises to Antarctica

Our collection of adventure cruises to Antarctica allow you to choose from a number of trip lengths, all launching from the southern tip of South America. Cross the infamous Drake Passage, then uncover the penguins, whales, and ice-scapes that populate the White Continent. Each of the small, ice-strengthened ships we use are comfortable and well-appointed and the expedition teams of naturalists, historians, and geologists illuminate the continent's untamed beauty, its extraordinary wildlife, and compelling human history.
