East Antarctica may take some effort to reach, but these longer expeditions explore some of the least visited, wildest and most historically significant regions of the White Continent. Only a few East Antarctica and Ross Sea expedition cruises depart each year from Australia and New Zealand.

These intense journeys usually span 25-30 nights in the peak Austral summer months of January and February, with the season limited due to sea ice accessibility.

Did you know Antarctica is surrounded on all sides by Sub-Antarctic islands? Most of them are mere specks in the Southern Ocean – not even shown on most world maps. However, these unique, beautiful, and biodiverse islands are rarely visited by travellers and are ideal for anyone seeking a rugged and remote adventure!

Sub-Antarctic cruises usually visit several islands, which can include:

MACQUARIE ISLAND

Macquarie Island is one of the most incredible, and least visited, regions of Australia.

Why visit Guatemala & Honduras? Guatemala and Honduras are meccas for the nature lover, the history buff and the adrenaline junkie alike. From bird watching, scuba diving and snorkelling to visiting ancient ruins and modern Mayan villages, a Guatemala and Honduras tour can be as diverse as you want it to be.

Due to its relative proximity to South America, cruises to the Antarctic Peninsula remain the most popular option for Antarctic travellers. An extension of the Andes Mountains range in South America, the peninsula is the northernmost part of the continent and offers a dramatic mountainous backdrop full of stunning scenery and a plethora of wildlife.

Nicaragua is the largest country in Central America.
