INTO the DEEP

Follow in the footsteps of explorers on this extraordinary adventure aboard Lindblad's longest-ever polar expedition to ethereal Antarctica.

- Dan Avila

For a cold-climate bucket-list travel destination, Antarctica has never been hotter. Last year, more than 100,000 travellers ventured to the Great White Continent, with the vast majority enjoying a few days exploring the grand icescapes of the Antarctic Peninsula. Yet, Antarctica offers so much more and for those lucky few who travel on Lindblad’s longest ever polar expedition, this extraordinary journey goes deep, travelling as far south as any cruise ship has ever ventured, and offering an unparalleled opportunity to experience nearly one-third of Antarctica’s rugged and pristine coastline.

The tyranny of distance Expedition cruising is booming and the allure of Antarctica as an approachable adventure destination has never been higher. Lindblad’s bold ‘Epic Antarctica’ journey captures the true essence of expedition travel with a 34-day voyage from Dunedin in New Zealand’s south, to Ushuaia in Argentina onboard the luxurious and highly capable National Geographic Endurance. On this journey, the itinerary is highly flexible, governed by the forces of wind, waves and ice, as the captain and expedition team constantly tune the route to safely maximise the guest experience.
