A Journey Worth Savoring

We're heading to Antarctica on a polar gay cruise to the continent that inspired our company's creation. Our journey begins amid the tango beats of Buenos Aires before we soar south to Ushuaia, the "End of the World," where the mighty Ultramarine awaits. Once we've crossed the legendary Drake Passage, prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure filled with sub-zero safaris, otherworldly hikes, whale encounters, and (if you're brave enough) a triumphant Polar Plunge. Though we sail as part of a larger expedition, we've crafted exclusive excursions and events just for our group.

A signature gay Antarctica expedition cruise aboard the Ultramarine, starting and ending in Buenos Aires with stops in Ushuaia and the Antarctic Peninsula.

Steven Krumholz is the guy who actually picks up the phone — and the one who knows which cabin, which resort, and which party is worth your time. Decades of access, zero booking fees, all heart.
