Christmas in Antarctica

Dan and our first Antarctica group just returned from the 7th continent! They preceded the cruise with an amazing journey through Buenos Aires, Tierra del Fuego National Park, and Ushuaia, Argentina and then cruised across the Drake Passage to the 7th Continent! Dan's been posting blogs when he's had internet access - we'll be adding more within the next few weeks. Click here to see his first Antarctica slideshow!

2011 Adventure Survey

Every year we send a survey out to a portion of our travelers with a list of possible Adventures for the next year. Travelers vote by putting down refundable $50 deposits on the trips of their choice, and once we've tallied all votes, we finalize our schedule for the subsequent year. We'll be mailing out our Survey for 2011 early in 2010, so keep an eye on those mailboxes if you'd like to help us choose our Adventure Schedule!

The following trips have been pre-selected for our 2011 Survey. We're accepting Early Birds on all!
