Antarctica Expedition Group Trip

January 25, 2028 - February 04, 2028

If you've been thinking of stepping foot on Antarctica someday, you have an opportunity to join us on a special group rate for a February 2028 expedition cruise personally hosted by Katie!
 
We chose Swan Hellenic since they have a newer fleet of ships with our specific ship being launched in 2023. There are no inside cabins, very limited ocean view cabins, and mostly balconies. Each room has a crackling fireplace to warm up after seeing the ice and snow outside. 
 
Almost everything is included except for your international flights to and from Buenos Aires, travel insurance, and Buenos Aires airport transfers if you choose to fly in early or depart later. You can choose to pay extra to kayak if you'd enjoy that, or upgrade the wifi if you need to check email or stream. 
 

Join Katie on this amazing expedition to Antarctica! Along this awe-inspiring voyage, encounter the mesmerizing landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula. Highlights include the icy wonders of the Gerlache Strait and the magnificent Antarctic Sound. We may also have the chance to step ashore Mikkelsen Harbor, where it's possible to see gentoo penguins, snowy sheathbills, skuas, and Antarctic Weddell seals.

The journey offers unparalleled access to this rarely visited pristine wilderness teeming with incredible natural beauty. Participants in the Antarctic Peninsula Discovery can enjoy various enriching activities throughout the cruise. While at sea, take advantage of lectures from polar specialists or enhance your photography skills with guidance from expert photographers. Zodiac boat expeditions provide an exhilarating way to search for seals, whales, and seabirds amidst ice-choked waters. Optional kayaking excursions allow for an intimate experience with the enchanting Antarctic surroundings.
