There are a number of fantastic vessels that explore this spectacular continent from October-March every year.
The end of the earth is explored by joining a exploration cruise that sails between the acute ice bergs, endless frozen snowy landscapes and Penguin colonies.
Expedition- an Antarctica cruise is the only way of exploring this unique and seldom visited part of our planet. Depending on what boat you select then the cruise can be luxurious, but these are expeditions with likeminded explorers as opposed to luxury cruises.
Wildlife- you get to spot with your own eyes scenes that you would expect in a David Attenborough documentary. From penguins to seal pups to albatross. It is epic.
Beauty- Antartica is a continent like no other and cruising around these barren lands in the lands is sure to amaze.

As a guide, the shorter trips can be 6 days in length for a glimpse of the continent to the all-encompassing 30 day option, and everything in between.
There are 2 ways to get to Antarctica, fly or boat. Last season 90% of people took the boat across and we feel it is part of the experience. If you are short of time and want to avoid Drake passage then we advise flying from Ushuaia in Argentina as this will cut out around 4 days of sailing.
