Discover the frosty shores of Antarctica on this nine-day adventure with AE Expeditions. Expert guides help design your personalised itinerary, so you can make the most of this extraordinary place. Admire the stunning glaciers and icebergs and sight rarities of the wild, making incredible memories to last.
Your adventure includes a pre-voyage stay in Argentina and a post-voyage stay in Chile, with cosy accommodation in both destinations, right in the beating heart of the local scenery. Private transfers to and from your hotels are included.
Once you’ve moved through Argentina, and Drakes Passage, reach the icy shores of Antarctica and prepare to explore all its beauty across a two-day stopover. Choose from zodiac excursions, wanders along the beaches, trips to secluded bays or simply some downtime on the ship’s observation decks. Discover an array of sea life, from penguin colonies to mighty albatrosses, and admire the pearly ice cliffs and pointed glaciers as you glide through the richly blue seas. If you’re feeling brave, there are plenty of spots along the way where you can try a polar plunge!
