Antarctica Cruises

Venture to the ends of the earth on A&K's Antarctica cruises. A&K has operated over 150 Antarctica expeditions in more than 20 years. On our Antarctica cruises, we employ only the most experienced crew and naturalist tour guides, who infuse your expedition with expert knowledge of Antarctica's hardy wildlife and striking landscapes.

Cruise Antarctica and the Southern Ocean on board the eco-friendly MV 'Le Boreal,' the first all-balcony stateroom vessel to ply Antarctic waters. Discover Antarctica’s fragile ecosystem through guided shore excursions and then learn about efforts to preserve it with a visit to a scientific research station. Cruise to Antarctica neighbors such as South Georgia, where you come face to face with vast elephant seal colonies and glacier-carved coves, and the Falkland Islands, where the penguin population far outnumbers humans.

With A&K's exciting Antarctica cruises, experience the world's final frontier in comfort and style.

Why book now?

Antarctica is white-hot right now — A&K's 2011 Antarctica voyages sold out, which is why we added a November 27 departure in 2012. There’s never been a better time to reserve your journey to the ends of the earth.

Cape Horn Landing

The Captain came over the speaker system and announced that we would be making an unexpected landing at Cape Horn. The dining room erupted in applause. We found out later that this was a departure from the route not to be repeated, and a welcome surprise and treat. read more

The Colossal Iceberg

Around 5:00 p.m., we had arrived at iceberg C-19, the largest in the world. Just how large? Originally over twice the size of Rhode Island when it broke off the Ross Ice Shelf in 2002, the portion we saw was a mere 133 square miles. read more
