Antarctica Family Vacation: A Trip to Remember!

Editor: Suman Pathak on Dec 17,2018

Take your family on an unforgettable adventure to the bottom of the world–Antarctica! As you traverse the Weddell Sea and pass through the iceberg channels, you will discover the beauty of the seventh continent and create lasting memories. You will hear the Emperor penguins’ call and the historical tales of shipwrecks. Watch for whales while passing through the Drake Passage; seeing them slap their tails against the surface of the water is incredible. Note that the recommended age for Antarctica trips is 8-years-old. While expedition vessels do not have play areas or other facilities made just for kids, many have twin beds and are happy to have them on board to join in the adventure.
