Antarctic Peninsula – Bespoke Expedition Itineraries

Even the most seasoned adventurers are humbled by the staggering and pristine beauty of Antarctica. It’s impossible not to be enchanted by icebergs, glaciers, snow-covered mountaintops, and incredible wildlife.

The Antarctic Peninsula is included on most cruise itineraries, as it is the closest access point from Tierra del Fuego (Argentina and Chile). You can reach the peninsula by crossing the Drake Passage from Ushuaia, on the southernmost tip of South America.
