Details
We leave Ushuaia and navigate the Beagle Channel, heading south across the Drake Passage and the turbulent waters of the Antarctic Convergence. Ice-capped mountains, crevassed glaciers and endless white expanses herald our arrival in Antarctica. Possible landings include Paradise Harbour, Neko Harbour and Wilhelmina Bay and an opportunity to cruise through the Lemaire Channel. Explore the rich diversity of Antarctic wildlife, including Gentoo, Adelie and Chinstrap rookeries and enjoy the varied marine life, witnessing seals hauling out on ice floes and a variety of whales such as Humpback, Minke and Orca, following in our wake. There is plenty to discover on this journey to the bottom of the World, no two voyages are the same, so be prepared to be delighted by the unexpected.
