Featuring a 8-Night Small Ship Cruise of Antarctica, the Drake Passage and more  

Plus, Enjoy 4 INCLUDED Nights in Buenos Aires — a value of $1600 per couple!  

Join us for a unique, “up close” exploration of Antarctica and the dramatic fjords of southern South America on our newest Antarctica cruisetour. You’ll sail aboard a specially designed coastal vessel that takes you “up close” — among the islands, channels, penguin colonies, glaciers, and bays of these stunningly beautiful regions. Along the way you’ll enjoy guided shore excursions, lectures by naturalists, fascinating nature programs, and much more. But that’s just one part of your experience. You’ll also spend 4 INCLUDED nights in Buenos Aires — one of South America’s most cosmopolitan and fascinating cities!

The “centerpiece” of your itinerary is a spectacular 8-night cruise from the Antarctic Peninsula, around Cape Horn and through the Drake Passage. You’ll sail aboard the MS Fram, a comfortable, highly maneuverable coastal vessel that is perfect for sailing Antarctica. In fact, for Antarctica sailings, the passenger capacity is limited to just 268. Your coastal vessel carries her own fleet of nimble PolarCirkel landing vessels for shore excursions with the ship’s naturalists. And, because your coastal vessel is outfitted with a special water-level platform for boarding landing boats, shore excursions go quickly, without long waits to go ashore. Call today to reserve your place on this unforgettable journey to South America and Antarctica!
