\u201cAsia is a magical place filled with great food, wonderful people, and history and art that are truly remarkable,\u201d Block said.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s the perfect destination for a group of art collectors to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, believe it or not, Antarctica has become a popular destination for cruises, especially for those hoping to travel to all seven continents during their lifetime.<\/p>\n

Known as the White Continent, VIP guests viewed the hundreds of thousands of penguins that call the icy frontier home, and icebergs as large as mountains or small countries. Whether through itineraries based around Hope Bay, Deception Island, or crossing the Lemaire Channel, Antarctica is truly a sight to behold.<\/p>\n

Only about 20,000 passengers visit the continent on an annual basis, making it all the more special for Park West VIPs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur international adventures give us the opportunity to utilize our resources and partnerships to make these adventures much more than the sum of their parts,\u201d Betteridge says. \u201cThese are real experiences and have to be attended to truly appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n

VIP collectors David and Christine B. are among those who have enjoyed a Park West VIP experience. They had the opportunity to meet artists such as Lebo, Scott Jacobs, Michael Cheval, and Sam Park during a cruise.<\/p>\n

“They were just amazing people with such wonderful stories to\u00a0share. We spent so much time just sitting and chatting with these awesome gentlemen,” David said. “We felt like part of a big, diverse family gathered for a common purpose, and made some new friends we will know and love for a lifetime!”<\/p>\n
