This is the info on my friend's trip to Antartica with the IU alumni group. She really doesn't know that much about the ship.

February 1 – 17

Join the 122-passenger Clipper Adventurer on a cruise to the southern periphery of the world, when the long hours of austral summer’s sunlight bring the region to exuberant life. Begin with two nights in the vibrant Argentinean capital of Buenos Aires. Continue to Ushuaia to embark the Adventurer and cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula. Sailing aboard one of the world’s few vessels specifically constructed to navigate the waters of this remote environment, witness colonies of penguins that stretch as far as the eye can see; wildflowers and tundra grasses in full splendor; thawed coves and waterways that host migrating whales; and seals loafing on the warm, sun-lit beaches. We’ll also explore the remote Falkland Islands, home to a wide variety of penguins and other fauna.

From approximately $5,595, plus air
