Voyage to the White Continent
This is the classic National Geographic voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula, where vast white mountains stretch endlessly, and massive glaciers send icebergs into the sea. Navigate through channels and coves framed by towering peaks, watch for whales from the deck, and cruise around giant icebergs in Zodiacs. You can hike, kayak, or even try cross-country skiing in complete tranquility. Whether you choose an active adventure or prefer relaxing onboard with fellow travelers, you’ll also have the chance to capture breathtaking shots with guidance from a National Geographic Photography Expert.
