Antarctic Peninsula: Crossing the Circle


Cruise overview
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 66⁰33´ 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.
Itinerary
Buenos Aires
Upon arriving in this cosmopolitan city, known for its architecture and rich European heritage, you will independently transfer to your group hotel (pre-expedition hotel night included in mandatory transfer package).
Glamorous and gritty, Buenos Aires is two cities in one. What makes Argentina’s capital so fascinating is its dual heritage—part European, part Latin American. Plaza de Mayo resembles a grand square in Madrid, and the ornate Teatro Colón would not be out of place in Vienna. But you’ll know you’re in South America by the leather shoes for sale on cobbled streets and impromptu parades of triumphant soccer fans. Limited-production wines, juicy steaks, and ice cream in countless flavors are among the old-world imports the city has perfected.
