Adventurous families who want to travel to the ends of the earth in kid-friendly style should put Antarctica high on the list of vacation destinations. Well-traveled parents in the know consider it one of the best, most transformative experiences of their lives. Obviously, visiting via cruise is a must here (although there are charter flights across the Drake Passage if you can’t stomach the waves). Keep in mind that this is expedition-style cruising, where education and environmental conservation are the focal points. You can hike among penguins, kayak near seals, cross-country ski on untouched glaciers and visit scientific labs. Families will leave Antarctica with a changed outlook on the world and a commitment to its preservation. And yes, Ciao Bambino has firsthand experience with this incredible kid-friendly place, meaning our agency has truly been to all seven continents with children!
