Antarctica Trip Ideas

ANTARCTIC PENINSULA

9 to 11-day cruises to the Antarctic peninsula can introduce you to the wildlife and landscapes of the White Continent, and offer the widest selection of departures and approaches to your Antarctic experience.

  • Great for: travelers with set travel dates, those with target durations for full travel of under two weeks
  • Highlights: classic itinerary giving travelers an excellent introduction to the region and its abundance of penguins, sea birds, and other marine wildlife
  • Many departures offer additional activities such as kayaking, snowshoeing, and camping. For those who want a multi-sport Antarctic adventure, consider a “basecamp” style cruise where all activities are included in the cruise cost.
