Count yourself among the lucky few to ever experience one of the least-visited places on Earth in this ten-day journey to Antarctica. The remoteness of the continent, along with its vast and unforgiving landscapes, are what give Antarctica its mystery, and are also what makes this a hard-won tick off anyone’s bucket list. Now you can travel here in style, on board the newly refurbished Silver Cloud, a luxury expedition liner with under 300 passengers. Starting and ending in Ushuaia, South America, you will travel through the famous Drake Passage, a vast body of water connecting the Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern Oceans, on your way to the Antarctic Sound. As you continue your journey, you will use the Silver Cloud’s fleet of inflatable Zodiac boats and kayaks at your disposal to get up close and personal with the majesty and at times imposing beauty of this incredible destination.
