Antarctic Peninsula
Set sail on a once-in-a-lifetime journey with Wild Earth Travel’s small ship expeditions to the Antarctic Peninsula — the ultimate gateway to the White Continent. Most voyages depart from Ushuaia, Argentina, crossing the legendary Drake Passage accompanied by albatrosses and cape petrels gliding overhead, before reaching the breathtaking ice-bound world of Antarctica. Other itineraries may take alternative routes, including fly-cruise options that skip the Drake Passage.
Experience up-close encounters with vast icebergs, sculpted glaciers, and abundant wildlife. Cruise in Zodiacs through frozen channels, visit lively penguin rookeries, and take in the dramatic scenery of snow-covered mountains and endless seascapes. With expert guides, optional kayaking, and the comfort of purpose-built expedition ships, our Antarctic cruises promise an extraordinary exploration of one of the planet’s last true wildernesses.
