Push your limits by journeying further into the polar wilderness to reach the remote & rewarding landscapes
Journey further into the polar wilderness, where few travellers ever venture, on this fearless voyage into the Antarctic Circle. With a specialist ship strengthened for the ice found in the world’s southernmost waters, you’ll cross over into the Antarctic Circle and be rewarded by some of our planet’s most remote and beautiful landscapes.
Your Antarctic Circle Cruise starts in Ushuaia, Argentina, where you’ll board your cruise ship to meet the crew, your fellow passengers, and the expedition team, comprised of excursion leaders and specialists, such as historians, marine biologists and naturalists. Throughout the trip, this team will provide you with information about the Antarctic region and answer questions you may have during the journey.
After crossing the Drake Passage, you’ll reach the South Shetland Islands, stopping off to explore the islets along the way. Then, you’ll reach the Antarctic Peninsula and enjoy twice-daily excursions to various sites on the mainland, taking your first steps on the remote continent. Finally, you’ll sail along the peninsula’s west coast to reach the Antarctic Circle, where few tourists ever visit.
Your 12 nights spent aboard the ship will be spent in either a cabin or suite, depending on your preference. Full board is provided, as well as talks and lectures by the team, daily activities and excursions.
