For the most intrepid explorers , a voyage to the seventh continent is a travel milestone . In this truly unspoiled land , majestic blue icebergs rise from a seemingly endless ocean , whales glide beneath the frosty waters , and leopard seals haul themselves up onto the shifting pack ice . For 12 nights , you ’ ll cruise in a small group of 20-25 travelers maximum ( average of 22 ) aboard the 98-passenger M / V Corinthian even farther south to a region of Antarctica that few travelers ever see , and even have the chance to cross the elusive Antarctic Circle .
