Posted on June 18th, 2009 by Our Generation

During the peak of the southern hemisphere summer travellers are offered a unique opportunity to venture to the continent of Antarctica. Sailing from both Australia and New Zealand, crossing the Antarctic Circle redolent with history and adventure.

On this Antarctic cruise the wildlife encountered along the way will astound you. The Sub-Antarctic islands are home to penguin breeding colonies numbering in the millions, to Elephant Seals and Hooker Sea Lions, and the endangered Wandering Albatross.

Cruising to the extreme sub-Antarctic and Antarctic regions is based on many years of collective experience. Prevailing weather and ice conditions in this area of the world are unpredictable, and mother nature is the one who dictates the course.

These are not cruises they are true expedition cruising at its best, to what can be the most inhospitable region on earth so what you must take with you is a spirit of adventure and flexibility.

  • Cruising to the extreme sub-Antarctic and Antarctic regions is based on many years of collective experience while there are better choice available at low cost to other destination.
  • yeah, you'll enjoy the detailed touches onboard that make these luxury vessels. These vessels allow travelers the opportunity to take advantage of the adventurous land excursions and up-close wildlife viewing that is best experienced on a small expedition ship without sacrificing the creature comforts traditionally found on much larger cruise ships.
