The extraordinary sights.
The moments in between.
Explore the Antarctic Peninsula
Glaciated coastlines, wildlife and a landscape shaped by ice. Compare expedition routes with room for sea crossings and days that change with local conditions.
A bracing expedition moment
Take a tethered plunge from the expedition vessel when offered by the operator. Participation depends on the expedition team, conditions and individual suitability; it is always optional.
Extraordinary journeys live in the details
Life along the shore
Look for penguins at sites included in the expedition’s daily plan. Follow the team’s viewing distances and biosecurity guidance; colony access and sightings depend on the route and conditions.

Step ashore with care
Landings offer a closer view of the Antarctic landscape when the expedition team judges conditions suitable. The location and activity can change, and a landing is never guaranteed.

Compare the complete expedition, time at sea, and the operator’s planned route. Landings and small-boat outings depend on daily conditions and the expedition team’s decisions.
Plan the timing
Plan around the austral summer. Most visitor voyages take place from November to March; the exact route and landings depend on the operator, sea ice, and weather.
Seasonal guidance, not a forecast. Photographs illustrate the destination, not conditions in a particular season.

Each card opens a supplier offer. Review its itinerary, dates, price, and inclusions, then ask Gloria to confirm the details for your trip. Experiences elsewhere on this page are ideas and may not be included in an offer.
Supplier-provided journeys that match the destination and selected filters. Where an attraction has few matches, we also show broader destination results, clearly labeled. A journey mentioning a place is not necessarily an admission ticket or a visit to it. Check the itinerary, inclusions, dates and availability.
Compare the complete expedition itinerary, including travel to the embarkation point and any sea crossings or flight connections. Time at the destination is only part of the journey, and the route may change with conditions.
Most visitor expeditions operate during the austral summer. Compare published departures around November to March, checking any early or late-season sailings individually. Weather and sea ice shape access.
Most visitors stay aboard their expedition ship. Compare cabins, onboard facilities, sea time and the landing program when choosing a voyage.
Choose the expedition and departure first, then coordinate flights, any pre-voyage stay, and the operator’s documents and equipment requirements. Confirm which activities are included and which need separate arrangements.
Check the operator’s age policies, health requirements and small-boat boarding demands. Discuss long crossings, remote conditions and the planned activities before choosing a voyage.
No. The expedition team adjusts the route and daily activities for weather, sea ice, wildlife protection and site access. Follow their guidance ashore and aboard small boats.
