Introduction


BOOK NOW!
Offering a stunning array of glistening landscapes, the icebergs, glaciers and towering snow-capped mountains of Antarctica without doubt make this special voyage a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife that inhabits this largely unexplored continent provide truly unique photographic opportunities for those interested in capturing their experience on camera.

Alongside the Antarctic Peninsula, this cruise also crosses around into the Weddell Sea, an environment that is home to the world's largest penguin - the Emperor - which is also the only Antarctic bird that breeds in winter on the ice. Emperor penguins travel long distances across the ice to find open water to feed, which is when it is hoped to see them on their journey for survival. On this voyage aim to reach areas both inhospitable and inspiring, setting the scene for a true adventure.
