In the winter of 2017 , just under 44,000 tourists visited Antarctica .

This year , that number surpassed 122,000 visitors.

Travel to Antarctica has never been easier or more luxurious.

Some experts are sounding the alarm about the environmental impacts of the spike in visitors.

Cruise lines have invested billions of dollars in recent years in recent expedition expedition ships.

Operators including Celebrity , Norwegian and Princess now offer “cruise only” visits that allow passengers to see Antarctica without actually touching down on the pristine and fragile tundra.

These visits often feature larger boats and are typically more affordable.

Each of the 132 cabins of Seabourn Pursuit and its sister ship, the Venture , feature a luxurious spa and nine restaurants.
