YouTube Video Description

Let Erin and Phil book this same experience for you, personally! We started ABC Trips to offer our bespoke itineraries to those seeking authentic culture, epic landscapes, and uncompromising luxury. 👉🏼 https://abctrips.com Our family has spent almost 5 years exploring every continent on the planet and one of our favorites is Antarctica. Last year, we used our polar passion to put together a group adventure that took 24 of us across the islands and coasts of The Great White Continent as part of a 15-night, all-inclusive luxury expedition. Antarctica can be unpredictable, but as professional travelers and professional travel planners, we knew how to leverage seasonality, cruise line reputation, cruise ship types and ages, and targeted routes and itineraries to maximize the chances of us returning home with memories as substantial as the costs to journey to this bucket list destination.
