Our planet's vast, remote, southernmost continent - larger than Europe - is a much-coveted "final frontier" for many travelers. And booking Antarctica vacation packages via cruise ship offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see frozen landscapes that can't be seen anywhere else along with a plethora of polar wildlife. With vacation packages typically ranging from one to three weeks, cruise ships departing from Argentina's Tierra del Fuego make the two-day crossing through the powerful swells and waves of the often turbulent Drake Passage - some 800 kilometers (500 miles) wide and 1,000km (600 miles) long, during which you may spot whales and dolphins - you arrive in a land like no other you've ever experienced.
