From Bucket List to Beyond…
At the other end of the world, the Antarctic Peninsula is a study in contrasts. You sail into iceberg-filled bays and along rugged coasts, visiting penguin rookeries and abandoned whaling stations. Setting foot on the 7th continent, crossing the Antarctic Circle or following in the footsteps of early explorers like Sir Ernest Shackleton are travel feats few can lay claim to.
In the Antarctic, where you go really depends on how much time you have. Crossing the Drake Passage is first on the agenda. While most companies have you sail its sea-sickness inducing, notoriously rough waters, that isn’t how we do things at Zoom Vacations. We take this wild card out of the equation, by flying over the Drake Passage.
This shaves off a little time, so you can make the most of every minute. We can get you kayaking the bays, cruising around icebergs and camping out under the Antarctic night sky in next to no time.

Imagine the sound of live music filling the streets, the taste of wine and tapas on a patio in the Spanish sun, all surrounded by the exotic heartbeat of authentic Spain. We’ve all seen our friends’ photos of the stunning architecture, white-sand beaches, dramatic flamenco dancing, and medieval fortresses. We’ve heard their stories of being blown away by the experience of it all.

With 12 days and a laid-back pace we’ve got the time to fully immerse ourselves in each of these four destinations. Sip sangria above Barcelona on Montjuic, take in some live flamenco in Seville, learn to cook our own tapas under the shadow of the Alhambra in Granada, and take a couple days on the beach in Sitges to soak it all in.
