ADVENTURES ON THE HIGH SEAS
ASTONISHING WILDLIFE AND SCENERY
CROSS THE ANTARCTIC CIRCLE
Your journey begins in Argentina, when you board your ship at Ushuaia and meet your shipmates on the MS Ocean Endeavour or MV Sea Adventurer. Then you sail out across the Beagle Channel, and south to the challenging waters of the Drake Passage, accompanied by some of the best polar experts and guides in the industry. The next land you see will be the Antarctic Peninsula.
Enter another world as you sail past haunting icebergs, abandoned whaling ships, glaciers and snow-covered mountains along the peninsula. Step on land to meet curious penguins, spot minke or humpback whales and take a dip in the frozen waters of the Southern Ocean with the local fur seal population. At each turn you’ll encounter a diverse range of wildlife and scenery, unique to this icy world.
Visit the Falkland Islands with their extraordinary birdlife, and sail to the island of South Georgia, where Ernest Shackleton is buried at the Grytviken cemetery. Encounter huge elephant seals, albatross, and rookeries teeming with king and macaroni penguins. Then it’s time to greet the midnight sun as you cross the Antarctic Circle, with a lifetime of polar memories.
