caption: Antarctica Few cruise destinations are as unconventional as Antarctica. Most major cruise lines -- including Celebrity Cruises, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises -- sail past Antarctica, allowing cruisers to soak in the impressive views of the surrounding scenery. However, Seabourn Cruise Line and Silversea Cruises are among a few lines that offer outings on shore. Passengers may have the chance to look for seals and penguins on the Antarctic Peninsula if weather and ice conditions are favorable. What's more, voyagers can enjoy kayaking tours and cruises on small inflatable boats to Elephant Island and through the Antarctic Sound. Orcas, humpback whales and <PERSON>'s dolphins are just some of the aquatic species travelers may see. Cruises that don't include shore excursions feature real-time sightseeing commentary from onboard experts.
