Guests may also have the chance to step ashore in Mikkelsen Harbour, where the opportunity to see gentoo penguins, snowy sheathbills, skuas, and Antarctic Weddell seals is possible.

This expedition sailing offers unparalleled access to a rarely visited pristine wilderness teeming with incredible natural  and awe-inspiring beauty. Guests on the Antarctic Peninsula Discovery can enjoy various enriching activities throughout the sailing, and while at sea, take advantage of lectures from polar specialists or enhance your photography skills with guidance from expert photographers.
