The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most extraordinary wildernesses on Earth. Admire the passing scenery from your ship, including sculpted icebergs, towering glaciers and snow-blanketed mountains lining its western coast. You’re able to cruise through sheltered bays and narrow channels, plus enjoy Zodiac excursions that provide opportunities to visit penguin colonies, watch seals hauled out on the ice and, later in the season, seek out humpback, minke and orca whales. Your expert expedition team adapts each day to the prevailing weather, ice and wildlife, so no two voyages are quite the same. Between excursions, you also have access to expert talks on Antarctic wildlife, history and geology aboard your chosen vessel.
