Antarctica Travels

Antarctica Travels was founded in Ushuaia, Patagonia, by Alicia Petiet in 2000. She became the first independent travel agent for Antarctic bookings in the city, earning a coveted spot in the Lonely Planet Travel Guide for Antarctica as the only recommended agent in Ushuaia. Today, Antarctica Travels is a thriving agency led by Managing Director Carolina Mantella, a seasoned polar specialist with over 25 years of industry experience. The team has personally sailed on every vessel in their portfolio, across both Antarctic and Arctic waters — accumulating over 300 combined voyages and first-hand knowledge of every ship, itinerary, and expedition team they represent. Over more than two decades, Antarctica Travels has helped over 5,000 travellers from around the world reach their polar dream destination — always matching the right ship, itinerary, and budget to each traveller's needs. Whether the dream is Antarctica, the Arctic, or everything in between, Antarctica Travels offers the personalized, full-service expertise to make it happen.
