Cruise with us to Antarctica, Earth’s last frontier, on this spectacular 14-day journey— explore the volcanic topography, observe the hospitable wildlife and visit the outposts of intrepid explorers, accompanied by an expert team of naturalists, who will lead excursions and share their knowledge of this unique ecosystem. Discover the secrets of the White Continent from aboard the exclusively chartered, deluxe m.s. Le Boreal, launching in 2010. Spend two nights in cosmopolitan Buenos Aires before cruising to a land where normal human scales and reference points disappear amid the fantastically shaped icebergs, glimmering turquoise glaciers, flourishing penguin rookeries and breaching whales. Complement your expedition with the special Iguazú Falls Post-Cruise Option. From $7,495 plus air
