For most of us, going on vacation means checking into a hotel and relaxing on a beach or by a pool with a tropical drink.

But for Mike Weinberg, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with 16 fellow vegans was the dream trip he’d been waiting for. In fact, he was so inspired by his recent all-vegan journey that he’s inviting you to join him on his next adventure to Antarctica!

The 10-day Vegan Antarctica cruise features a vegan menu, a vegan dining area, and animal-free products and gear aboard Chimu Adventures’ newly renovated vessel. The cruise begins in Argentina on February 20 and crosses the Beagle Channel and the Drake Passage before reaching the South Shetland Islands for a spectacular welcome to the seventh continent. From there, it’s on to the Antarctic Peninsula’s fascinating wildlife, glaciers, magnificent mountains, enormous icebergs, and stunning blue waters. While cruising the coast of the peninsula for four days, guests can go to the mainland via Zodiac  boats to explore Antarctica’s pristine nature and for snowshoe and kayak excursions. The cruise returns to Argentina on March 1 after allowing you to experience one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

The Vegan Antarctica cruise requires passengers to bring animal-free clothing, shoes, and gear, and there are eight twin cabins (16 berths) available for a limited time on a first-come, first-served basis. Not yet vegan? The group welcomes those who commit to following a vegan lifestyle during the cruise.

“Expedition cruises to Antarctica are expensive, usually starting around $10,000, which has kept me from going before,” said Weinberg. “But I found a reliable tour company willing to offer highly-discounted fares and generous group incentives that can bring the cost down to about half the going rate. And there is no single surcharge for solo travelers willing to share a cabin.”

Experiencing a place that very few people get to visit and promoting vegan living with likeminded passengers make for a riveting opportunity. Considering the rapid rate at which Antarctica is currently melting, now’s the time to enjoy the natural beauty that your vegan lifestyle helps preserve three times a day, every day.
