Experience the White Continent in its most pristine state during the long light of the austral summer, when sunrise turns the icescape pink and gold. You’ll spend nine nights of your 14-day journey cruising Antarctic waters aboard the innovative, intimate, and luxurious cruiser L’Austral, from which you’ll view icebergs, glaciers, penguin rookeries, seals, and breeching whales. You’ll also venture forth from the ship in sturdy Zodiac craft, accompanied by the expedition’s team of expert naturalists, for an up-close view of the Antarctic’s abundant wildlife and its unusual volcanic topography. The natural wonders of this unique adventure begin with urban luxury: two nights in cosmopolitan Buenos Aires. A post-cruise option to Iguazu Falls is available.
