From a Real Traveler
In Their Words
"We did an online search for the most knowledgeable travel agent concerning Antarctica cruises. Todd Edmundson's name came up, we touched base with him, and the rest is history. We're on our way to Antarctica on an HX cruise and we couldn't be happier."

On Board
Built for the Wild
Modern expedition ships are ice-strengthened, stabilized, and outfitted with submarines, helicopters, kayaks, and Zodiac fleets. Suites are spacious. Dining is excellent. The lecture hall fills nightly.
The expedition team — biologists, glaciologists, historians, photographers — is the soul of the voyage. They set the daily itinerary in response to weather and wildlife, not a printed schedule.
