Cruise to Antarctic

For many travellers the most compelling reason to visit the Antarctic is to notch up the "seventh continent."

Of course there's also the natural history, ornithology, oceanography, photography, or just to be among penguins in their natural environment. Tauck World Discovery offers a 16-day expedition cruise aboard the specially designed Clipper Adventurer.

Departing Buenos Aires, you fly to Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego for a cruise to the Antarctic Archipelago and the windswept Falkland Islands, before finishing up in Santiago, Chile.

Onboard naturalists, wildlife biologists, geologists and other experts add an educational dimension to a cruise which also enjoys Tauck's trademark comfort and style. From $15,511 a person, share twin. Departures are in January and February 2002.
