I experienced world records being broken by swimmers, icebergs and glaciers shining in the sunshine and also walked around with many different species of penguins, whales and seals.

I just returned from a wonderful 23-day Antarctic expedition cruise that I booked through Adventure Life. I had an outstanding experience with Adventure Life. My trip planner was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and patient and responded quickly to my emails. Working with her was like having my own personal concierge. I wholeheartedly recommend Adventure Life.
