Antarctica

Drake Express

Spend your days exploring the Antarctic Peninsula, admiring penguin rookeries during courtship rituals and crabeater seals lounging on ice floes. In the Antarctic Sound, vast tabular ice leads the way toward bustling Adélie colonies. In the water, humpback and minke whales are often seen gently swimming by. As you paddle through pristine waters on a possible kayaking excursion, moments of serenity invite you to open up to life-changing experiences.
