Antarctica

Antarctica is the trip every serious traveler eventually puts on their list — and the one most struggle to actually book. It’s expensive, the season is short (November–March), and the logistics are non-trivial. But for travelers who make it, no one says it wasn’t worth it.

Expedition cruises typically depart from Ushuaia, Argentina, crossing the Drake Passage to the Antarctic Peninsula. Once there, you’re seeing 200,000-strong penguin colonies, leopard seals lounging on ice floes, humpback whales breaching beside the ship, and landscapes of blue ice and black volcanic rock that you can’t see anywhere else on earth.

EWT Tours offers occasional curated Antarctica expeditions — typically every 2-3 years — for travelers who’ve already done the major continents and are ready for the seventh. Spots fill 18+ months in advance.
