Welcome to the end of the world. Antarctica is the ultimate travel frontier—a land of massive tabular icebergs, thousands of penguins, and silence so deep you can hear the ice crack. Whether you dream of crossing the legendary Drake Passage, kayaking among humpback whales, or stepping foot on the 7th Continent, our Antarctica tour packages…offer safe, world-class expedition cruises.
Why Choose an Antarctica Expedition?
Antarctica is not just a holiday; it is an expedition. There are no hotels here, only floating basecamps (your ship). You will explore untouched wilderness that very few humans have ever seen.
The Austral Summer (November – March)
You can only visit Antarctica during its summer. The sun shines nearly 24 hours a day, and wildlife is most active.
- Early Season (Nov – Dec): The snow is pristine and white. Penguins are courting and nesting. Best for photographers.
- Peak Season (Jan – Feb): Penguin chicks hatch! Whale watching is at its peak as Humpbacks and Minke whales arrive.
- Late Season (Feb – Mar): Best for whale watching and crossing the Polar Circle. The ice recedes, allowing ships to go further south.
Top Experience Highlights
- The Drake Passage: The legendary 2-day sea crossing from South America. A rite of passage for any true explorer.
- Zodiac Cruising: Leave the big ship and board small zodiac boats to get close to icebergs and sleeping seals.
- Penguin Colonies: Walk carefully among thousands of Gentoo, Chinstrap, and Adélie penguins.
- Polar Plunge: For the brave—jump into the freezing Antarctic waters for the ultimate souvenir story.
Frequently Asked Questions

Actually, during the summer, temperatures along the peninsula hover around 0°C to +5°C. It is often warmer than winter in New York or London!
