Antarctica Is the Top Adventure Destination of 2025, According to Virtuoso

"Named the top adventure destination of 2025 by Virtuoso in its annual Luxe Report — which surveyed its team advisors across 58 countries — the White Continent has become more accessible to average travelers. Over 70 cruise ships make the journey each year, and itineraries typically span seven to 14 nights. Most voyages require navigating the notoriously rough stretch of water from Argentina, though some outfitters offer the option to fly the crossing. For those seeking an even more exclusive experience, a few companies provide eco-luxury glamping experiences. The continent offers a wealth of extraordinary activities, from taking in towering icebergs to kayaking glacial waters to observing unique wildlife like penguins, orcas, and seals." - Taryn White Taryn White Taryn White is a D.C.-based travel writer who covers a wide range of topics, including family travel, hotels, food, aviation, beaches, historical and cultural topics, and wellness travel.
