CRUISE THE WEDDELL SEA AND THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA

PHOTO GALLERY 
The success of last year's blockbuster film, The March of the Penguins, has sparked a demand for trips to see the creatures in their natural habitat. It's a precarious place: they live exclusively on pack ice and are the only birds never to set foot on dry land. Journey Latin America (020 8747 8315; www.journeylatinamerica.co.uk) offers cruises to the Weddell Sea, beginning and ending in Argentina's Tierra del Fuego and passing through the Antarctic Sound (or 'Iceberg Alley'). You should see penguins and even the odd leopard seal. An 11-night cruise on the 46-berth research vessel MV Alexsey Maryshev, which belongs to the Hydrographic Institute of St Petersburg and has an onboard sauna in which to warm up, costs £3,520 per person, excluding flights, departing January 2007.
