South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula on the Ocean Albatros

Embark on a 10-day expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula aboard the Ocean Albatros, a purpose-built ice-class vessel designed for adventure and comfort. The Ocean Albatros accommodates an intimate group of just 175 guests, ensuring a personalized and immersive experience. Departing from Ushuaia, Argentina, we cross the Drake Passage to reach the South Shetland Islands and delve into the dramatic landscapes of the Antarctic Peninsula. Towering ice cliffs, massive glaciers, and abundant wildlife such as penguins, whales, and seals await exploration via Zodiac cruises and landings. Each day is filled with thrilling activities, from exploring research stations and penguin rookeries to navigating among towering icebergs, all enhanced by stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and insightful expert-led lectures.
