Classic Antarctica

See the best of the White Continent

This Antarctic travel journey is the classic itinerary to the beautiful Antarctic Peninsula. It delivers everything you could want - the huge tabular icebergs, hillsides covered with Gentoo, Adelie or Chinstrap penguins, whales and abundant marine wildlife, a passage through the famed lemaire Channel between towering blue bergs and more. Sail aboard our luxuriously comfortable expedition ships and enjoy plenty of landings and Zodiac cruising. Don't forget to ask us about kayaking options.
