Planning an Antarctica Adventure

We started our planning almost a year ago. For us, water is a continuous theme. San Clemente, Costa Rica, Prince Edward Island, the Algarve Region in Portugal, the Galápagos Islands, Iceland……You get the idea! After a lot of thought, we decided that our next adventure should be to one of the most remote places on earth that also involves a lot of water travel…..Antarctica. Where to start?

Once we had settled on a location for our adventure, we turned to how we would actually get there. Flying to Patagonia sounded like the most logical option, but that only took us as far south as South America. How should we go from Patagonia to Antarctica? The best option is really on a ship, but which one? We could go on a large cruise ship, but would be limited in our ability to explore Antarctica. We decided to use an expedition cruise line which lead us to Silversea Expeditions. We found that the Silver Explorer would best meet our needs and trip timing, which would be December 2019.
