The Arctic and Antarctic Are Like No Other Place in the World. Let's Go.
Is a polar cruise to Antarctica or the Arctic on your bucket list? There are many commonalities between the two. You’ll find little of anything that reminds you of places you already know. There’s minimal infrastructure. Human contact is limited to small villages or research stations. And its barren and yet exciting landscapes will awaken a new spirit in you. Know this, too: There are also many distinctions. Join us on our behind the scenes journey to both -- and see which destination best floats your own boat.
