Trip Details

Embark on an award-winning Luxury Expedition Cruise to the centerpiece of the Southern Hemisphere─extraordinary Antarctica─where towering icebergs, massive glaciers and amazing wildlife make for the adventure of a lifetime. We’ll cruise for 10 nights aboard luxurious ‘Le Lyrial’ with guaranteed balcony accommodations, exclusively chartered by Abercrombie & Kent (A&K).


This travel adventure provides entertaining penguins, whales galore and a chance to observe climate change up close and personal. It also offers mesmerizing geology with dramatically diverse landscapes, ice floes, narrow passages, volcanic islands and geothermic black sands.

Discover rare yet abundant wildlife on a voyage, ideally timed with the peak of the austral summer, and explore the Antarctic Peninsula for five action-packed days with excursions led by the region’s best guides. Enjoy all-inclusive cruising with included onboard meals and house drinks, Zodiac excursions, expedition gear, port charges, gratuities, Traveler’s Valet® laundry service, and complimentary Wi-Fi.


A very special added feature will be cruising with NIU professor of micropaleontology Dr. Reed Scherer. We’ll learn of his longtime working research in Antarctica and our NIU connection with this great continent.
