This expedition offers the quintessential Antarctic experience.
Towering glaciers, amazing wildlife encounters, snow-covered landscapes, massive icebergs and the option to choose your favourite activities every day make this voyage the perfect introduction to the white continent.
In the waters of the Antarctic Peninsula, we spend our days off the ship exploring by Zodiac, making shore landings in the company of our expert guides. By breaking into small special interest groups, we discover Antarctica and its remarkable wildlife through photography, Zodiac excursions, hiking onshore, and for the more adventurous, sea kayaking. Visits to historic huts and working research bases add another dimension to the voyage.
This classic expedition features many of the well-known landing sites such as the South Shetland Islands, the Antarctic Sound, the Gerlache Strait, and the Penola Strait.
