Why an
Antarctica cruise
is special

The best way I can describe my Antarctica cruise experience is I felt I was on a distant planet.

Most people think of penguins when they hear "Antarctica". Yes, you see them in their natural habitat. But even without the amazing penguins, Antarctica is spectacular.

It has one of the most fascinating natural settings in the world. You absorb bizarre-shaped giant icebergs, jagged snowy mountain peaks, sprawling glaciers, and other marvels.
