Antarctic Peninsula: Crossing the Circle on World Voyager
Relatively few humans set foot on the remote 7th Continent. Even fewer achieve the incomparable polar milestone of crossing the Antarctic Circle. While navigating beyond 66°33' South is the highlight of the 14-day Antarctic Peninsula: Crossing the Circle, this voyage encompasses many extraordinary immersive adventures and breath–taking polar landscapes. Traveling with Quark Expeditions on our brand-new ship, World Voyager, you'll be able to explore this fascinating region by ship, Zodiac, kayak and during guided hikes. In addition to navigating beyond 66°33´ South—which is marked by a special on-board celebration—you’ll be able to explore penguin colonies, glaciers, remote bays and historical sites of the Peninsula and experience the awe of splendid isolation. Our ultimate goal is to allow you to customize your adventure as you cross the 7th Continent off your bucket list. Reach out to our team of Polar Travel Advisers for assistance at any time.
