Antarctica Cruise Ships

Antarctica, the world's southernmost continent and part of the South Pole, is a barren, ice-covered wasteland. The Antarctic Peninsula, which reaches into South America, is visited by most voyages to the region. It's famous for the Lemaire Channel and Paradise Harbor, which are iceberg-flanked passages, and Port Lockroy, a former British research station turned museum. The secluded landscape of the peninsula also provides a haven for abundant wildlife, including numerous penguins. Take the popular Cruise Ship to Antarctica for a relaxing vacation.
