Expedition overview & highlights

  • Observe extraordinary wildlife including fast-growing penguin chicks leaving their nest and learning to swim.
  • Join the exclusive polar plunge club and jump into the beautiful Antarctic waters.
  • Search for orca and minke whales in the icy bays.

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula, where towering icebergs and vibrant wildlife meet in one of the most remote corners of the planet. This remarkable voyage is the ideal way to explore this pristine region, offering moments of awe and discovery at every turn. Set sail across the legendary Drake Passage to and from Antarctica, watching majestic seabirds soar overhead as you approach the icy expanse, just as early explorers once did—by sea.

In the spirit of expedition travel, we encourage you to adopt a flexible and adventurous attitude when joining our voyages. This itinerary is a guide only and is subject to change due to weather, sea state and other conditions beyond our control.
