Creator's Key Takeaways

It took my breath away, and it sent a hush over the room of 150 travel agents.

If I can't use my job as a travel agent to make my wife's travel goals come true, then really, why am I doing this at all?

You may get the Drake Lake or you may get the Drake Shake.

This is the kind of trip that is going to change you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book early (12-18 months in advance) for financial planning and best rates
βœ“Bring layers and waterproof pants even though gear is provided
βœ“Prepare for motion sickness during Drake Passage with medication
βœ“Consider the camping excursion for the full experience

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Motion sickness during Drake Passage β€” Work with a doctor for prescriptions and know the ship has stabilizers
Packing enough gear for extreme cold β€” Atlas provides parkas, muck boots, and binoculars; focus on waterproof layers
Trip being too expensive β€” Book during shoulder season (November) for reduced rates and long planning runway
