CROSSING THE CIRCLE
Crossing The Antarctic Circle - Antarctic Cruise
Overview
This trip is unique and a particular favourite of ours as it combines in a single expedition the distinct advantages of offering polar travellers the longest time to explore Antarctica with the rare chance to cross the intangible Antarctic Circle.
Travelling further south down the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, where very few boats have the time to venture on shorter itineraries, this is the perfect trip for those looking to maximise their time on the White Continent and travel where few others venture.
