Even today, few can say they’ve traveled past the Antarctic Circle to the last-explored and least-known realm on earth. Here’s your chance to join the select few who’ve crossed that final border, into a world where the sun never sets, and where drifting icebergs may reach the size of city blocks.
Along you way you’ll likely meet Adelie, Gentoo, Chinstrap and Magellanic Penguins. You may site Humpback, Minke and Orca Whales, and see countless seals basking on the rugged Antarctic Peninsula coast. You can also take part in optional kayaking and camping expeditions, bringing you even closer to Antarctica’s remarkable wildlife and spectacular scenery.
Quark’s ships, crew and staff have been navigating and exploring these waters for decades. When you’re ready to cross that “final frontier,” make sure you travel with the best!
