Is Antarctica the ultimate expedition cruise? A huge warm (well cold actually) welcome to our brand new vlog series as we travel nearly 10,000 miles to the most remote and uninhabited place in the world for an incredible cruise. Join us for part one as we travel for nearly 30 hours solid and then explore Punta Arenas in southern Chile. Then, we embark on a sometimes perilous flight to King George Island, sparing us the terrors of the infamous Drake Passage (for now!).

![The Most Extraordinary Thing Weve Ever Done on a Luxury Cruise — Silversea Silver Dawn, Namibia
We ultra-luxury cruised along one of the most spectacular coastlines on Earth — 10 days aboard Silversea Silver Dawn from Durban, South Africa to Walvis Bay, Namibia. We froze in fear as a bull elephant who got uncomfortably close, ascended Table Mountain in a rotating cable car, and then we drove — in a 4x4 — off the edge of a 100-metre sand dune where the world’s oldest desert simply falls into the Atlantic Ocean. This might just be the most exciting and nerve racking cruise we’ve ever done.
