Antarctica is truly a bucket-list destination, as the beautiful continent can be difficult and expensive to get to.
Most Antarctic cruises cost thousands of dollars a person and many only sail through the region — I wanted to be on a ship that actually got me on the continent.
So, after a lot of research, I booked a 21-day expedition on the Seabourn Pursuit. It begins in and departs from Argentina, and its itinerary includes excursions in Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia.
I traveled with my mom, and we initially paid $22,500 per person for an entry-level cabin. Our fare included food, drinks, and most excursions.
Here's what it was like.

Losing your luggage to the mysterious labyrinth of an airport baggage system is every flier's worst nightmare—especially when nobody at the airline can tell you where in the world it ended up. That's why many travelers have decided to take things into their own hands in recent years by attaching tracking devices like Apple AirTags to their checked luggage.
Birthdays usually involve receiving gifts, but one airline is giving them out for a special celebration. JetBlue is turning 25 and is rolling out discounts and deals every day this week in celebration of the achievement. For today’s limited-time deal, the New York-based airline is offering $25 one-way fares throughout the United StatesTravel + Leisure spotted a variety of flight deals for $25 one-way, including:
On a warm September day in Nice, France, I grab a table at a restaurant terrace overlooking the Mediterranean and size up the vessel I'm about to board: Atlas Ocean Voyages' World Traveller. Although you wouldn't know to look at it, the navy blue hull is built to cut through ice. As the ship glimmers under the southern French sun, I find it hard to imagine that in less than two months it will be back in Antarctic waters, having swapped the calm, summer waters of the Mediterranean for a harsh polar climate.
So seductive is the beauty of quaint Savannah, Georgia, that General Sherman famously spared it from destruction at the end of his infamous march. Travelers have long adored the town for the mossy live oaks that arch over brick-lined streets, the comforting cuisine, the mix of gingerbread Victorians and stately Greek Revivals. But most visitors probably wouldn't have called it hip, at least until lately. A flourishing creative community—much of it connected to the renowned Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD)—has ushered in a new current of cool marked by adventurous chefs melding global flavors with Low Country ingredients, chic hotels with swoon-worthy interiors, and art-filled neighborhoods that offer an alternative to the usual tourist destinations. Few places offer a more satisfying balance of the storied past and the thrilling future.
Booking a summer vacation just got cheaper. Avelo Airlines, a discount carrier based in Texas, recently announced a special promotion code which provides travelers with a $30 discount off of their summer travel bookings. The code is valid for travel between May 1, 2025 and August 26, 2025, making it perfect for travelers looking to get a jumpstart on seasonal bookings.
The best time to visit Alaska will hardly be a surprise—it’s when you can get good weather and a lot of sunlight to see and explore everything that the largest state in the United States has to offer. Alaska is one of the Best Places to Go in 2025, as many of the area's signature sites and events like the Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve and the 1000-mile-long Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race celebrate their 100th birthdays this year. But beyond these milestones, Alaska is still an exciting destination in any year. It’s the matter of what time of year to visit that can help turn your trip from a good one into a fabulous one.
For fliers who haven’t encountered it before, SSSS on a boarding pass stands for Secondary Security Screening Selection. It’s the Transportation Security Administration’s method of selecting passengers for additional security checks. If the acronym appears on your ticket, it means you’ll be subject to an extra-thorough screening—despite having pre-approval through a Trusted Traveler Program such as Clear, NEXUS, Global Entry, or TSA PreCheck. This can extend the boarding process by 15 to 45 minutes (or longer), which is always frustrating if you’re running on a tight schedule.
I've been on more than a dozen cruise ships in my lifetime, which has given me plenty of experience in determining what to pack for a cruise. Between studying abroad on a ship with Semester at Sea, family travel—my parents both spent their careers working for cruise lines, so it was the de facto summer vacation growing up—and assignments for work, I count myself lucky to have traveled everywhere from the Mediterranean and Alaska to the Caribbean via cruise ship. All of those trips have made me something of a pro at packing for a cruise, if I do say so myself.
Once a bohemian enclave popular among surfers and backpackers, the Oaxacan town of Brisas de Zicatela (or “La Punta,” as locals call it), just south of Puerto Escondido, has evolved into a buzzing tourist spot, its big waves and boisterous mezcal bars now attracting a still young but decidedly less countercultural crowd. Hotel Humano, the latest offering from Mexico City-based Grupo Habita, both embraces the area’s lively ambience and offers a refined respite from it. The 39-room, three-level property opened in late December on a busy street that becomes a party strip every evening, but its striking design creates an elegant barrier between the action outside and the considered details within (while an enforced municipal ordinance also requires loud music to stop at 11 p.m.). The building, designed by Jorge Hernández de la Garza, follows the current fad, in local architecture, of disguising heavy concrete structures with earthy textures meant to evoke vernacular constructions; here, breeze walls made of pale clay bricks provide privacy and shade, allowing air to sweep through. Linen lampshades, toffee-hued glazed tiles and big stainless steel sinks by Madrid-based Plantea Estudio add a lighter, contemporary touch, most effectively in eight suites featuring terraces with soaking pools. Guests and visitors alike can enjoy Humano’s casual cafe and juice bar in the double-height lobby, French fare by the self-taught chef Marion Chateau served in the palapa-covered poolside restaurant and the rooftop bar’s concrete bleachers — La Punta’s best spot to take in the sky at dusk.
First came the coronavirus pandemic. Then came so-called "revenge travel." Now, it seems like the mad dash to Europe is an annual phenomenon that's here to stay.
Multiple earthquakes are rattling Santorini, a volcanic island in Greece, prompting authorities to dispatch rescuers with tents, a sniffer dog and drones, and to shut schools on four islands.
