OVERVIEW
Discover the Great White Continent's stunning landscapes, glacial mountains, and fantastic animals during this 12-day ultimate Antarctica voyage. This journey is special because there is NO SET ITINERARY, which transforms it into a true exploration voyage.
The journey begins as we navigate the Beagle Channel's quiet, grey seas, before heading south, and entering the Drake Passage. The Drake Passage, a body of water that connects the chilly Antarctic with the warmer Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, is renowned for its merry weather and powerful westerly winds. The ship is equipped with stabilisers, strong engines, and a revolutionary reclining bow that guarantees stability and comfort in stormy seas while using very little fuel, so you may travel with confidence even though this voyage may be difficult.
As there is no defined course, our skipper and expedition leader will consider our options while studying ice charts and weather forecasts. The enormous tabular icebergs of the Weddell Sea, the sparsely populated regions south of the Antarctic Circle, or human research stations in the most remote regions of the planet might all be examples of this. There is no doubt that we will experience genuine adventure and thrilling wildlife, we are always on the watch for sea lions, elephant seals, whales, a staggering number of seabirds, and penguins.
Note: The Ultimate Antarctica Experience is designed to have "No Set Itinerary" which transforms it into a true exploration tour. The trips that begin in DEC-FEB are called: Quest for the Circle, as we intend to go more south and if possible cross the Antarctic Circle at 66°33′, enjoy longer days with sunlight and even more active penguin rookeries and explore exciting places made possible as the breaking sea ice opens up new avenues.
