How to Travel to Every Continent

Here at AdventureSmith Explorations, many of our travel experts have visited all 7 continents, especially since Antarctica is among our top-selling destinations and areas of expertise. If you are planning to join the 7 continents travel club, read on for all our tips!

To Travel to Every Continent, First Set a Goal

If you are reading this post, you’ve likely already decided you want to visit all seven continents, so that’s your goal. But think a little deeper. Do you consider just an airport layover enough to achieve your goal of reaching all 7 continents? Do you want to do a particular activity on each continent? Or just simply get there?

These examples can give you an idea of how you can set your 7 continents goal based on your age, an activity or other factors:

• One of our intrepid alumni travelers reached her goal of visiting all 7 continents before the age of 30 while on an Antarctica cruise with us.
• Another of our Antarctica clients went to complete his goal of hitting a golf ball on every continent (he was only able to swing his club in Antarctica due to environmental regulations).
• One of our alumni travelers and authors Kellie McIntyre (pictured above with her family) had the goal to reach all 7 continents with her daughters by the time they graduated college. She then published a memoir, The Passport Project , and an Ultimate Travel Tracker journal to help others accomplish the same.
• One of our even specialists traveled to Antarctica in 2017 with a woman who was completing all 7 continents in one year as well as a couple who achieved the Guinness World Record of “fastest time to travel to all seven continents”: 92 hours, 4 minutes and 19 seconds. Their record has since been surpassed.

What Is the Best Order to Visit All 7 Continents?

Some travelers intend to visit all seven continents in a special order, but there is no set or best way to reach them all. Below is a sample order (and detail of places visited on each continent) from AdventureSmith alumni traveler Katie Petersen:

• North America: USA (all 50 states!), Canada , Guatemala , Jamaica, Mexico , Costa Rica
• Europe: England, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Croatia , Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Poland
• Africa: Kenya, Tanzania
• South America: Chile , Argentina, Peru
• Asia: India, Cambodia, South Korea, Thailand

Do you have a plan for which continents to visit first? Or last? Ask those in the 7 continents travel club, and you’ll find that the order can be surprising.

For AdventureSmith Specialist Lis Larson, she visited Asia last despite it being considered the best continent to travel to when you’re young and on a budget thanks to its backpacker hotels, warm climate and general affordability. But most do reach Antarctica last. Go on an Antarctica trips and you’ll find it’s the Mecca for final continent seekers!

Combine Continents – the Best Continents to Visit in One Trip

Another tip to plan out your 7 continents goal: Be sure to think about how you can hit multiple continents in a single trip. Depending on where you are in the world will dictate what’s the best continent to visit and when. But examples of common pairs are:

• Europe & Africa – Spain and Morocco are easy neighbors to visit.  
• Antarctica & South America – Most Antarctica cruise itineraries embark from Ushuaia, Argentina, so it’s almost a prerequisite to touch down in South America.
• Australia & Asia – Perth to Bali, anyone? It’s just under a 4-hour flight.
• Asia, Africa & Europe – Dubai, Cairo & Frankfurt are big flight hubs so can be quick gateways to exploring 3 continents in a single trip.
• North America & Asia – While very few people will take advantage of this closeness, it’s worth noting that you can travel to two continents (and into the future quickly) by taking a 1-hour flight over the international dateline from Nome, Alaska, to Russia’s closed Chukotka region. Some of our small ship Alaska cruise itineraries even depart from Nome, sailing to Russia.

Set a Realistic Timeline to Visit All Seven Continents

Think about your timeline. People most often get discouraged and abandon goals when they don’t achieve them in the time that they had originally planned. Therefore, one of the most important factors in traveling to every continent is setting a realistic time in which to achieve it. Ask yourself: Is this goal among your ideal things to do before 30? Before age 70? By the time your kids graduate high school? Do you plan to travel to every continent solo, as a family or in a group? To that end, consider the following three things when choosing your timeline:

1) Family Situation

Do you have a partner who will support your goal and timeline? Young children or old parents in your care that make travel to remote destinations impractical right now? Is this something feasible to accomplish with your core family group?

2) Financial Situation

Completing travel to every continent isn’t cheap. It’s important to understand how much your goal will cost, and make sure you can afford that. At the same time, if it’s really important to you, you can absolutely make it happen! Cutting down the number of times you eat out per week by 1 or 2 can easily allow you to afford an international trip every year, and setting aside just $20-30/week for a few years will usually get you enough for that really big trip you’ve been wanting to take.

3) Employment Situation

How much time off do you need for your goal, and will your place of employment support that? Do you only get a few weeks’ vacation each year? If so, can you work towards your goal by taking a sabbatical, or by taking a long break between jobs?

If you are honest with yourself when you set your goal and your timeline, the sky is the limit!

Plan Ahead but Also Be Available to Travel Last Minute

You’ll need some savings to visit all 7 continents, and the best way to save money varies on your own financial situation. But some solid advice we can give as travel advisors is to plan ahead yet be very flexible if you are seeking to reach every continent. This combination of efforts can lead to big savings and surprisingly fast goal reaching! What do we mean by this?

This combination of efforts can lead to big savings and surprisingly fast goal reaching! 

Well, if you wait to plan everything last minute, then you might not go anywhere. Life can get in the way with excuses. Planning ahead and booking early allows you to do big trips “right” in having your choice of dates, cabins/rooms, early-booking deals and add-ons, as well as planning to have others join you with enough advance notice. For instance, in Antarctica, if your goal includes doing a particular activity, booking early is key since activity space can sell out.

All that said, you need to be flexible to take advantage of last-minute opportunities. Be sure to follow our adventure travel deals as well as flight consolidators and advisors like Exito Travel and Scott’s Cheap Flights to clue into last-minute savings and even “mistake” airfares. Sometimes you can’t afford NOT to go if it’s a good enough deal!

Pick Places to Travel for Your Birthday

Birthday travel is among our clients’ top reasons for going places. And everyone is keen to come along to celebrate you and might even pitch in to help you plan your birthday trips if they become annual events. We recommend achieving your travel to every continent goal by aiming to celebrate milestones on each continent. This will give you a timeline and a reason to hit your goal. Afterall, how can your boss say no to giving you some time off around your birthday?! Read more about celebration cruises , including planning a birthday cruise , on our blog.

Use a Travel Advisor

Our final tip for traveling to all 7 continents is to consult a travel advisor. Whether you talk with our team at AdventureSmith Explorations or another resource, it’s essential to have a sounding board and someone who can help with logistics, the best timing for each destination and making your travel to every continent as efficient as possible. As you’ve read above, we have quite a few tips from booking travelers on their 7 th continent trips and traveling ourselves. Read on below for some tales from our travelers and team, then get planning and packing to reach your goal to visit all seven continents!

Tales from Travelers Who’ve Reached All 7 Continents

“I officially set the goal of getting to all 7 continents before 30 when I was 23, at which point I had been to only 3/7 (North America, Europe and Africa). The 2015 trip to Antarctica I booked with AdventureSmith Explorations allowed me to reach my 7th continent at the age of 29. Making landfall on Antarctica was an exciting and emotional moment!” -AdventureSmith traveler Katie P.

“My last continent was Australia in 2016. I actually hadn’t stepped foot on Antarctica until 2023, even though I had previously visited it 4 times and crossed the Drake 8!” -AdventureSmith Specialist Lauren P.

“Antarctica completed my 7 continent trip for 2017. The other passengers said ‘I heard about you, you’re the lady who did all 7 continents in one year.’ As amazing as it was, other people’s adventures and stories were also incredible. I’ve talked to people who travelled to 30, 70, or 120 countries. One couple shared their travels to all but 4 countries in South America, a feat of conquering language barriers, stories of misadventures and the beauty of all the places they have seen. All these already make me want to book my next travel adventure.” -AdventureSmith traveler Crystalyn T.

“Now I have visited all seven continents; I have completed my mission, and my dream came true. Thank you to AdventureSmith Explorations and your staff for making this happen!!!” -AdventureSmith traveler Binod T.

“We set a family goal when my daughters were in elementary school to visit six continents before they finished high school. Which we did. Antarctica was the college graduation trip. Exploring the world as a family (approx 40 countries as a family) is the greatest gift we ever gave our daughters.” -AdventureSmith traveler Kellie M.

How wonderful to come across this post, I had the good fortune to join the 7 continents club when I was 35, one of my closest friends who also happened to be my favourite travel companion and I decided to go to Antarctica for Christmas. We stayed on the ship for three weeks and it was truly an amazing trip. On our last day, 10 humpbacks were swimming along side us. Although I have been to over 40 countries so far, it was the most memorable expedition that I have had.

Leslie at AdventureSmith Explorations has helped me to arrange for my cruise to the Galapagos in February next year, I’m so excited and thank you, Leslie, for all your help and useful advice.

Hi Tess, Travel’s ultimate achievement—congratulations! We love hearing travel stories from our guests; memories like those never seem to fade and it’s truly why we are so passionate about what we do. We are so pleased Leslie and AdventureSmith could help plan your Galapagos Islands trip, you’re in for another unforgettable experience surrounded by wildlife found nowhere else on the planet.

Seven Continent Clubs

Extreme sports with seven continents club and around 7 continents.

Two groups, Seven Continents Club, and the Around 7 Continents club, are dedicating to pursuing human sport in a global context. More specifically, Seven Continents Club was created for long distance runners who wanted to run a marathon on all seven continents. Around 7 Continents, however, is a group of cyclists who are currently biking a 85,000 kilometers trip across 7 continents, through 70 countries during the span of the next 5 years.

Around 7 Continents is a seven continent, 85,000 kilometer long, 5-year bike trip being completed to raise awareness for famed adventurer Riaan Manser’s “No Food For Lazy Man” charity. This insane bike quest began last month in Australia. The Around 7 Continents team will be Down Under until December, where they will cover 5,300 kilometers total. Next, the team will go to Europe and over 165 days, bike 8,200 kilometers. Then, Asia will be conquered in two parts, totaling over 32,000 kilometers.

The bikers will visit North America, South America, and Africa after that. They will end their trip in Antarctica, where the coordinates of the bike ride are still being planned out. Around 7 Continents, is accepting donations and is asking for help in paying visa costs. The group is sponsored by brands such as Canon, Adventure Inc., Leatherman, and Park Cycles. The team has an active web and social media presence, all of which can be accessed at their official website .

Visiting Antarctica – Welcome to the Seven Continent Club

After just visiting Antarctica, I write this with tears in my eyes. We proudly present our most wonderful journey to our last, and final continent. Welcome to the Seven Continent Club! Many who venture to Antarctica are often overcome with emotion because it is such a unique, beautiful, indescribable place.

On this journey, we were surrounded by a young woman battling cancer, older folks on their last great adventure, and other backpackers taking a risky chance by living life in a less conventional way.

I feel so blessed to say that I have met my life goal of setting foot on all 7 continents. It is an incredible feeling but leaves me deeply wondering what is next for me. What goal will I now set before myself to achieve? This was almost too easy.

If you take six minutes to watch this video, you’ll see in my face the happiness that this experience has given me. A lifelong goal is being achieved before your eyes. We loved our trip to Antarctica aboard the Sea Adventurer. It was worth every penny!

Here are the 25 best Antarctica Cruises departing this year !

Please, if you have something that is deeply burning deep inside you to complete, set the wheels in motion today. If we can do it, so can you! Just today, someone asked us, “So, is everything you did worth it?” And we quickly, without thought, immediately answered, “Yes!” Because how could taking this amazing adventure not be? We are living a dream that sometimes we don’t feel worthy to be given.

I want to thank my husband who painstakingly went through hours of video footage to create this and all of our other videos. I think you have a new calling as a cinematographer or producer. Our story will be forever documented for us to relive so we’ll never forget the epic adventure we shared.

I love you forever. Thank you for sharing this beautiful life with me. And to everyone else, continued thanks for following along on our journey.

Loved the video guys!! Absolutely enjoyed every second (except the way Americans pronounce Antarctica Hahahaha). I’ve been following your adventure for a while now and I’ve only just come across this post and wanted to say that you are very inspiring to me. A true credit to all travellers. Keep doing what you’re doing! P.S those mega waves would’ve sent me loopy. It’s my only big fear.

Antarctica is such an incredible place. I have no idea when I will go but I will.

Great video.

Setting a goal is the first step in making a dream a reality! Let us know if we could help or share any tips! Thanks for the nice compliment on our video. It’s our favorite travel “souvenir.”

Audrey i feel like you’ve become quite the little ham on these videos! Made me giggle with all your silly little walks and dances 🙂 You guys–it looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL! ….and when the sun came out it seemed magical. gave me chills just viewing your footage. i cannot imagine what it must have been like to have actually been there. i am so happy for you that you were able to fulfill your dream. what a wonderful accomplishment! XOXO

Welcome to The Official 7 Continents Marathon, 1/2 Marathon & Ultra Marathon Club; The Official 8 Continents Marathon, 1/2 Marathon & ultra Club; The 8 Continents Marathon Club; and Eight Continents Club! 

With the additioan of Zealandia as the 8th Continent, we are the first to recognize the addition of this new continent and have consolidated the recognition clubs so you won't have to worry about where to go to be recognized. 

We will continue to recognize finishers of The 7 Continents prior to February 17, 2017.  Going forward to be recognized as a finisher, you must complete marathons on all 8 Continents -- including Zealandia. 

As the governing organization who groups the 6 marathons run in London, Tokyo, Berlin, New York, Boston & Chicago has done, if you ran one of their races prior to being recognized as part of the majors, it will not count towards completion.  That is, if you ran a marathon in New Zealand or New Caledonia prior to February 17, 2017 it will still only count as Oceania (i.e., Australia). 

As such, it is a race to see who will be the first male and female to complete marathons on all 8 Continent!!

The mission of our organization is to compile the first all-inclusive "Official" list of ALL 7 continent marathon, 1/2 marathon & ultra Marathon finishers.  But it's more than that. 

We are a non-profit corporation who only wants to compile a complete list of runners who complete running events from Half-Marathon to Ultra Marathons on all 8 Continents

This packable, expandable tote is a go-to secret for expert travelers.

The Packable Carryall is a secret weapon in packing all the stuff you can't fit into your regular ... [+] bag.

The best wedding gift we received was also one of the simplest. My mother’s friend Jane, a consummate world traveler, bought us a green zippered nylon pouch that expanded into a carry-on sized tote bag to stuff away all the things we couldn’t cram into the rest of our luggage.

Our honeymoon was a six-week trip around Indonesia and Australia and we bought lots of knickknacks, so it was incredible to have an extra full-size bag when we needed it.

That was 25 years ago but we kept Jane’s green bag until it literally burst at the seams. Then we duck-taped the seams and kept using it. I hadn’t found anything I liked as much until I saw something called The Packable Carryall by Away.

A tote bag wherever you need it. And when you don't, it folds into a six-by-four inch zippered ... [+] pouch.

I knew Away from the reviews I’d read on Wirecutter and elsewhere but that was for their regular Carry-On roller suitcase. The Packable Carryall was more of an emotional investment for me. It had to live up to the rigors of a bag that had taken us to seven continents and back over the years, and maybe also update the experience with new tech and materials.

Happy to say The Packable Carryall didn’t disappoint. It’s made of lightweight, water-resistant 100% recycled nylon and is tiny in its pouch (at roughly six by four inches, it folds even smaller than Jane’s duffel). I love that the removable zippered pouch stays attached to the interior when not in use so you don’t lose it. Jane’s bag had one big interior space that was amazing for stuffing, but the Packable Carryall has more organization inside, including a zippered interior pocket that makes it feel like an upgrade over our tried-and-true. The straps are solid and stylish, too.

The Away bag expands to around the same size as our old one. This one goes to 15" x 19.7" x 9" with a capacity of 43 liters, and weighs just 8 oz. There are three color options and it retails for $75 (though you can find it for less on Poshmark and elsewhere), which isn’t bad, considering how many years we kept our last packable tote.

Away allows free returns for 100 days for unused items and has a warranty for a year if anything goes wrong. Not that I plan on calling in either of those favors. If anything goes sideways with The Packable Carryall, a few strips of duck tape will keep us going for a few more years.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
