Antarctica Cruise Destinations

From the Beagle Channel to the far south, here are the places an Antarctica expedition brings within reach.

A cruise ship pushing into the fast ice in Antarctica

The Antarctic Peninsula

The heart of every voyage — Paradise Bay, the Lemaire Channel, Neko Harbour and the South Shetland Islands, with daily zodiac landings among penguins, seals and towering glaciers.

South Georgia

The greatest wildlife spectacle on Earth — beaches packed with king penguins and elephant seals, plus Shackleton’s grave at Grytviken. On longer voyages only.

The Falkland Islands

Windswept islands with black-browed albatross, rockhopper and Magellanic penguins, and the seaside capital of Stanley — often paired with South Georgia.

The Drake Passage

The legendary two-day crossing between Ushuaia and the Peninsula — seabirds in the ship’s wake and the anticipation of first ice. Calm or rough, it’s part of the adventure.

Ushuaia & the Beagle Channel

The southernmost city on Earth and the gateway for nearly all Antarctic voyages — most trips add a night here, with Tierra del Fuego and the Beagle Channel to explore.
