Love, Marriage, and Canceled Honeymoons: How Couples Are Adjusting Amid Coronavirus
"Roche and McDonald boarded Oceanwide Expeditions’ Plancius vessel in Ushuaia, a port town at the southern tip of Argentina, on March 10. They were aware of the mounting public health crisis in China and Italy, and briefly worried if it might cause trouble upon return to the United States, but were quickly distracted by the enchanting beauty of the southernmost continent. 'Antarctica was beyond words,' says Roche of the mesmerizing landscapes and magical encounters with seals and penguins. Eventually, though, the gravitas of the situation back home dominated the conversation. Borders were shutting at an unprecedented clip while the Plancius—carrying more than 100 passengers from 28 countries—was sailing at the bottom of the world."
"After two days exploring Buenos Aires, you’ll fly to the southernmost city on the planet: Ushuaia. You’ll then set sail on Original Travel’s Antarctic cruise, passed Tierra del Fuego along the Drake Passage before four days of exploring the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula." - Travel + Leisure Editors
Lorena knows the trips better that everyone - she replied to all my questions immediately and gave me the best options for my desires. I had an incredible trip to Islas Malvinas, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula. Thank you again Lorena for your amazing help and support before and after the trip!

Lorena of AntArctic Expeditions was amazing and so helpful. She was very professional nothing was too much trouble, we felt very reassured paying our invoice over the internet. Lorena worked hard to get us the expedition we wanted at an amazing price. Our Antarctic adventure was just the most amazing experience ever.....we loved every minute! The wildlife and the immense landscapes were truly wonderful. We always knew if we were able to go we would have to visit Falklands, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula.
The sustainability of such an adventure was a dilemma but the company's values on responsible exploration were genuinely reassuring as we witnessed on board Sea venture.
A trip of a lifetime and thank you to AntArtic expeditions for making it happen!

Lorena arranged an Antarctica cruise of a lifetime for us. Loved the penguins, seals, whales, and icebergs we encountered. Loved it so much, we immediately booked a second cruise with Lorena and it was just as amazing! Lorena did a wonderful job getting us set to go.

We had immediate responses to all queries, no matter what time of the day or night it was, not sure when she slept. We would definetly recommend Lorena to anyone booking an Antarctic trip, thank you again, we wish you all the very best in the future

Very good agency that organized the 11 day classic antarctic trip on the expedition ship M/V Ushuaia for us. What sets them apart from others is that you get very good warm clothes (skijacket, skitrousers and skigloves) for free from cumbre rental. The price for the cruises are the same for all companies but with other companies, you have to pay for the clothes - not with AntArctic Polar Expeditions.
Lorena was always very polite and fast responding in the communication with us via email and payment was easy doable via Paypal/credit card link. We would definitely recommend it 😊

The trip to Antarctica is the best memory every in my life. Lorena has introduced me the best package for what we are looking for. And the price she quoted is the lowest. Really appreciate her help on arranging this for us. Highly recommend AntArctic if you are looking for a trip to Antarctica.

We just finished an 18 day Antarctica cruise that Lorena helped us find and I couldn't be any more happier with the cruise. She was amazing from start to end in helping us find an option that worked for us and got us a good deal. We booked a last min cruise (3 weeks out) and she helped answer all questions we had with a quick turnaround time.
