9 Days at the
Edge of the World
Imagine waking up and seeing nothing but the majestic blue ice. No emails to answer. No headlines to read. Just the crunch of the ship cutting through the floes.
This is what we do best.
We are Insider Expeditions. We specialize in taking the world’s most curious minds to the planet’s wildest places.
Over nine days, we will cross the legendary Drake Passage and explore the Antarctic Peninsula. This isn’t a sightseeing tour where you stay behind glass. We get you out there. You’ll be in Zodiacs cruising alongside hunting leopard seals. You’ll be hiking past colonies of Gentoo penguins that aren’t afraid of humans because they’ve barely seen them.
We’ve done this for Jimmy Buffett. We’ve done it for Diplo and Wim Hof. We’ve done it for Chelsea Handler and many more. They chose us because we understand that an expedition is about the balance between rugged adventure and world-class hospitality.
The Seventh Continent is waiting. We’re ready to take you there.
