Antarctica tours explore what many consider to be the final frontier on Earth, as it is untouched by civilization and remains in nature's purest form. If you enjoy learning about a destination as you explore it, escorted Antarctica tours will make a perfect choice. Our Antarctica tours include the services of a tour director with an expertise and familiarity with the continent and experience in leading Antarctica travel groups.

Antarctica tours typically start with a day in Buenos Aires, Argentina. From there, Antarctica tours will take you to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world and the starting point for cruises to Antarctica. Your Antarctica travel adventure continues as your expedition ship sails through glacier-draped Beagle Channel and then Drake Passage. Guests go ashore in Antarctica in small, motorized Zodiacs. Expert lecturers in the fields of history, geology and marine biology often lead Antarctica shore excursions.

Antarctica tours will take you to islands that are home to a fabulous assortment of wildlife -- penguins, seals, sea lions and seabirds. Other common stops on Antarctica tours include: the Falkland Islands, a remote and beautiful archipelago with a temperate climate, diverse wildlife and friendly people of British descent; King George Island, home to elephant seals; and the South Shetland Islands, where thousands of Chinstrap penguins nest.

Antarctica travel is a feast for the senses. The cracking sound of calving glaciers, the bright sun glistening on spectacular icebergs adrift in the deep blue water, and a deep breath of the freshest air imaginable will complete the Antarctic travel experience.
