Is it Texas-big or even Alaska-big? Nope, don't limit your imagination and dream even bigger. To come close to matching Antarctica's size, you would need to combine both the United States and Mexico. And it's not only size that makes Antarctica distinct from any other place on Earth. It is also the highest, driest, coldest, windiest, and brightest continent on our planet. If you think visiting a place with so many superlatives will ignite your clients' sense of discovery, show them our numerous Antarctica itineraries. And best of all, they can select a voyage based on the experience they want to have. So, if they want to camp on Antarctica and visit wineries in Chile, they can. And if they want to dance the tango in Buenos Aires and then watch penguins waddle on the ice, they can do that, too. Have your clients dream big with our top destinations and experiences on Antarctica voyages. | | | | |

| | | |  | | | South Georgia Island | | | South Georgia is only accessible by sea. If you're a human, that is. For birds, flying and flightless, the island is a favored haven. Here your clients may see albatross, storm petrel, and four species of penguin. In fact, St. Andrew's Bay hosts the largest king penguin colony in the world, with thousands of elegant adults and their adorable brown-downed chicks dominating the landscape. | | | | | | |  | | | The Falklands | | | This is your clients' opportunity to spend the holidays in Antarctica! As they travel south from Ushuaia, the Falklands will be a favorite stop prior to Antarctica. They can join a birdwatching excursion and view birds that can only be found here, such as the steamer duck and Cobb's wren. Then they'll explore the streets of Stanley, the Falklands' capital, known for its distinct British flavor. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | | |  | | | The Antarctic Peninsula | | | On the Antarctic Peninsula, the northernmost part of the continent, you'll find Cuverville Island, home to some of the largest gentoo penguin colonies, and Wilhelmina Bay, a favorite spot for humpback whales during the austral summer. On this cruise, your clients can sign up for our sea kayaking certification program, where they'll gain skills and paddle among the icebergs in Antarctic waters. | | | | | | |  | | | South of the Antarctic Circle | | | During the austral summer, the sea ice of Antarctica retreats toward the edge of the continent. That means that your clients will travel even farther south on the world's first hybrid ship, the MS Roald Amundsen, in January and February of 2019. This is their opportunity to hike, kayak, and snowshoe in places that few get a chance to visit - and get close to penguins, seals, and whales. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
