The South Pole
Antartica
Take your adventure to the next
level, with a cruise to the earth’s
southernmost region. Typically
embarking in Ushuaia, Argentina – often
nicknamed “The End Of The World” –
intrepid travellers can board a cruise
that offers the opportunity to venture
where few others have ever been,
following in the footsteps of Shackleton
on an unforgettable polar expedition.
Gliding silently through the icy waters
of the Antarctic Ocean, you’ll witness
the raw beauty of Mother Nature,
viewing penguins, albatrosses, seals
and even whales in their untouched
habitats. Many cruises now offer the
opportunity to get a little closer to
some of the historic research sites and
wildlife, with kayaking tours through the
great white expanse along with guided
hikes with breath-taking panoramas.
