Crystal Ocean Cruises Antarctica Cruises

Gaze into the white continent while you are all bundled up on the decks of your Crystal Cruises’ ship. The scenery will take your breath away and the experience will be one you won’t soon forget. Crystal offers only a handful of itineraries to Antarctica each year. These cruises usually also include spending some time exploring South America. On these sailings you experience both the calm and seemingly desolate landscapes of the Drake Passage and Cape Horn, but you can also revel in the amazing nightlife of Buenos Aires or the packed resorts of Vina del Mar, only 20 minutes from Valparaiso in Chile.
