Luxury Cruises in Antarctica
It’s often said that we know more about the moon than the ocean; the same case could be put forward for Antarctica. During winter, there is one person per 5,405 square miles on this Great White Continent. Here, hardy species of wildlife have flourished including colonies of penguin, pods of orca, humpback whales, seals, and many seabirds. Let’s not forget the wildlife rich South Georgia Island and the Falklands, the former is home to enormous colonies of King Penguins and Elephant seals. Cruise Antarctica with Lightfoot Travel and navigate the tempestuous waters of the Drake Passage to the White Continent.
We have partnered with the world’s leading expedition cruise operators to bring you the most extraordinary Antarctica voyages. These include, but are not limited to, the all-suite Sea Spirit and Hebridean Sky to the Silver Explorer and National Geographic Explorer, all of which are accompanied by expert teams of naturalists, photographers and scientists. As the choppy waters of the Drake Passage are not for everyone, the brand new Magellan Explorer is one of vessel which offers the “fly and cruise” itinerary from Chile.
