37-day Antarctic cruise
Not enough time or money. For many, these are what limit our travels. But if you have some of both, Adventure Life has a very interesting itinerary offered in March. It's a 37-day cruise aboard a small expedition ship exploring the Antarctic Peninsula and a variety of remote islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. Beginning in Ushuaia, Argentina, the MV Plancius, which can accommodate just 112 passengers, will sail across the notorious Drake Passage and venture to areas like South Georgia, famous for its king penguins and its role in the famous Shackleton expedition. Also on the agenda is Gough Island, followed by Tristan da Cunha, the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world with a population of fewer than 270. St. Helena, where Napoleon died in exile, follows, and Ascension Island marks the end of the voyage. The price is from $11,550 per person, double or triple occupancy. Info: 800-344-6118,
