Visit some of the most remote regions of the planet, as you explore the Ross Sea, just like Scott, Shackleton, & Ross (the 19th-century explorer for whom this sea is named). Here, you will see the impressive Ross Ice Shelf - the world's largest and the Transantarctic Mountain Chain. You'll also see the well-adapted species like the active colonies of Adelie penguins, lazy seals, & majestic whales. Your journey to this unique part of the Antarctic waters will likely include stops in New Zealand, Macquarie Island, the Snares, and the Antarctic Peninsula. Since pack ice makes it impassable for all but two months of the year, the tours offered here are exclusively 30-35 day journeys that will show you all the highlights of the bottom of the world. Our travel specialists will help you find the perfect Antarctic cruise.
