VOYAGES TO THE WHITE CONTINENT
Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula

11 day expedition with optional kayaking and camping

-

The thunder of icebergs calving off majestic glaciers - a sea of penguins tobogganing and waddling across snowy slopes - whales spy-hopping ahead of your kayak. These are moments that stay with you forever. Antarctica – the purest wilderness on earth - a place of ethereal beauty and the ultimate destination for an adventurous spirit.

Join us on our brand new expedition to the awe-inspiring Antarctic Peninsula aboard our safe and comfortable 48-passenger expedition ship - specially designed and built for Polar conditions. We have teamed up with a some of the most experienced hands polar exploration to provide you with these once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

Here at the ice-bound edge of the world, the abundance of wildlife is overwhelming. On frequent land and water excursions we experience it up-close: massive penguin rookeries, five seal species including the leopard seal, most of the world’s whale species and a profusion of seabirds from the mighty wandering albatross to the delicate tern.
We travel through an other-worldly landscape at the best time of the astral summer, when conditions are usually calm and mild, ideal for exploration and photography. With zodiacs or kayaks we cruise past calving glaciers, get close to nesting sea birds and, if we’re lucky, see whales breach close by. Ashore, we observe penguins with their young, hike up volcanic slopes for astounding views and visit scientific research stations. And for those of us who feel particularly adventurous there will be a chance to camp out on the ice overnight and feel the thrill and audacity of early explorers of the White Continent.
