East Antarctica may take some effort to reach, but these longer expeditions explore some of the least visited, wildest and most historically significant regions of the White Continent. Only a few East Antarctica and Ross Sea expedition cruises depart each year from Australia and New Zealand.
These intense journeys usually span 25-30 nights in the peak Austral summer months of January and February, with the season limited due to sea ice accessibility.
The latest ship in the Albatros Expeditions fleet, the new luxury Ocean Victory is one of the most modern ships operating in the Antarctic region.
Due to its relative proximity to South America, cruises to the Antarctic Peninsula remain the most popular option for Antarctic travellers. An extension of the Andes Mountains range in South America, the peninsula is the northernmost part of the continent and offers a dramatic mountainous backdrop full of stunning scenery and a plethora of wildlife.
Discovering Antarctica on a luxury expedition ship is by far an experience you will never forget. Not only will you enjoy and relax in ultimate comfort, you will also be able to step ashore on the spectacular white continent. Witness glaciers and mountain ranges like never before and be amazed by the abundance of wildlife. The combination of this spectacular continent with the luxury on board is truly a once in a lifetime, so a luxury cruise to Antarctica is perfect for those who want to travel in style.
