For the traveler who wants to do something unusual, try this expedition voyage

Voyage to the Edge of the Earth

There’s perhaps no other wilderness adventure that’s as brag worthy and yet accessible, as a voyage to the world’s most remote continent. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. My husband Roy said he did all his cold weather training in the U.S. Marines and hasn’t stopped moaning about the trip I arranged for us to go see the Northern Lights in Alaska when it was 40 degrees below zero, so this trip doesn’t interest him.

We use Zegrahm Expeditions, one of the preferred travel suppliers for the Signature Travel Network which we belong to. Because of the large volume of travel booked by the consortium, nine billion in sales, we get privileges you wouldn’t get if you booked yourself, such as a hotel room upgrade, a free breakfast, dining credit, early check in late check out, plus many other amenities which can add thousands in savings to the cost of the trip.

This company has the ultimate dream team for each itinerary. Marine biologists, ornithologists, geologists, historians, archaeologists, all experts who are just as eager to share their in depth knowledge as they are to make new discoveries right alongside you while exploring each destination.

The Ocean Diamond is a 175 guest oceangoing vessel equipped with stabilizers and an ice hardened hull, allowing her to easily navigate the most rugged natural environments. They carry a fleet of Zodiacs which enables you to access remote shorelines and islands. You even get gift certificates for recommended expedition gear and reading materials.

The way is paved to Antarctica by way of South Georgia and the Falkland Islands aboard this expedition ship, Each day tells a new story, zigzag your ways between icebergs, the light shining through the ice in a full spectrum of pinks, blues and greens, trailed by a mother humpback whale and her playful calf, so close you can look them in the eyes. Zodiacs deliver you twice daily to otherwise impossible to reach corners where accompanied by expert guides, you will stroll alongside tuxedoed Gentoo penguins and hike your way to a colony of black browed albatrosses. By day’s end, you will be clamoring to exchange tales with like minded travelers who quickly become lifelong friends.
