Antarctica was just chosen by Travel + Leisure as a Trip of a Lifetime, with A&K named one of the best travel companies operating in the White Continent.
The New York Times designated Antarctica one of “The 45 Places to go in 2012,” naming A&K's voyages on board ‘Le Boreal’ as a way to discover this remote destination.
Learn how to tell your emperors from your kings by reading all about the world’s different penguin species in the latest issue of Sundowner, the magazine by A&K.

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.

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
Among Royalty: Spotting Emperor Penguins- By far the stars of the morning were the small groups of emperor penguin, a species that most of the staff, despite having come to Antarctica for decades, had only seen a handful of times.read more
