Antarctic Cruise.

See huge icebergs.

Watch penguins and whales.

Join us on a fascinating trip to the world's most remote continent.

We'll travel on a special ship called the Polar Star.

First, your guide will meet you at the airport in Buenos Aires. Then you'll board the ship in Ushuaia, the world's most southern city. The Polar Star has got a gym, restaurant and shop. It carries about a hundred passengers, so you'll make lots of new friends.

During your journey to the South Pole, you'll see some amazing scenery. If you're lucky, you'll also see whales, seals, and seabirds.

If you've got any questions, our team of experts will be there to help you.

Every day we'll go on excursions, if the weather isn't too bad.

One of our most popular trips is a visit to the penguin colonies on Half Moon Island.

You'll see the tiny penguin chicks if you visit in February.

You can also spend an afternoon at the boiling hot springs of Pendulum Cove. If you're brave, you'll be able to go for a swim.

There's lots of time to enjoy the trip, because it's light for twenty hours a day during the Antarctic summer.

If you choose this holiday, you won't be disappointed. It's a unique opportunity to visit the Earth's final frontier and a once in a lifetime experience for lovers of adventure.
