Where We Goin'

| Antarctica! |
We're going to Antarctica -- our 7th continent --
in December! We'll be aboard a ship called the
Ushuaia, an ice-strengthened polar vessel with
a maximum of just 90 passengers. Zodiacs will
take us on one or two expeditions per day once
we reach our destination. The 11-day / 10-night
cruise will begin and end in the small town of
Ushuaia at the southern tip of Argentina. Here's
a quick rundown of the itinerary:
DAY 1: Depart Ushuaia
DAYS 2-3: Cross the Drake Passage
DAYS 4-8: Explore the Antarctic Peninsula
and South Shetland Islands
DAYS 9-10: Cross the Drake Passage
DAY 11: Arrive in Ushuaia
We'll spend a few extra days in Buenos Aires
and Ushuaia at either end of our trip. If we're
lucky, we'll see plenty of orcas, humpbacks, fur
seals, penguins, albatross, and more -- not to
mention icebergs and glaciers galore. Nothing
about Antarctica is cheap, but Antarpply offers
a more cost-effective approach to experiencing
Antarctica than pretty much any other company
out there. We couldn't be more excited!
