BOLTON, Mass. - Feb. 3, 2020 - Wanderful and Intrepid Travel have teamed up to launch a cruise trip to Antarctica taking place from January 29 to February 8, 2022. They are opening 100 seats on the 200-seat Ocean Endeavour specifically for women and allies in the Wanderful community. Booking for reservations opens today.
The trip begins in Ushaia, Argentina and through the Drake Passage and into the Antarctic Peninsula. The expedition includes lessons on marine biology, glaciology, and Antarctic history from the in-house experts of Intrepid Travel, a leader in responsible and sustainable trips.
Environmental impact is at the heart of this journey. Each Antarctica expedition is carbon offset, serving only sustainably sourced seafood, avoiding single-use plastics, and using only biodegradable and phosphate-free cleaning products to keep this region's environment and wildlife protected.
"Intrepid Travel is excited to be partnering with Wanderful on this bucket-list expedition to Antarctica. We've always believed in the power of travel to educate and inspire people, and we have no doubt that collaborating with such a like-minded community will highlight the power of travel for good, foster dialogue about responsible travel initiatives, create lasting connections and memories, and of course, be an impactful experience for all involved," said Leigh Barnes, Intrepid Travel's Chief Customer Officer. "As the world's largest adventure travel company and an industry leader in responsible tourism, we're proud to offer a Polar product that speaks to these values."
Wanderful will also be organizing activities on board for the women joining, and has launched a budgeting series to help make the trip as affordable as possible by giving women two years to make payments and helping teach them how to save along the way.
"For so many people, Antarctica feels like an impossible trip. It's far away, and expensive. That's why we're particularly excited about this partnership with Intrepid," said Beth Santos, CEO and Founder of Wanderful. "They're helping us make this trip as affordable as possible by giving our travelers two years to make payments, and we're working with them to help budget along the way so they can make this trip happen. Plus, anyone who join us will automatically be part of our Wanderful community and have 99 other amazing women to live this experience with, and that's life-changing."
