ANTARCTICA 2007-2008
11 - 38 DAYS

No mandatory single supplement charge


Antarctica and the Sub-Antarctic Islands are some of the last truly unspoiled regions of the world. The mysterious White Continent, with its multi-colored ice caps, glistening glaciers and towering snow-capped mountains, offers unparalleled scenery and photographic opportunities. Enormous numbers of penguins, whales, seals and seabirds congregate in the food-rich waters along the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic shores.

We will start our adventure exploring Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Then our small, specially designed expedition ship will travel south, taking full advantage of the 24 hours of daylight during the austral summer. Ice-strengthened hull and state-of-the-art equipment will allow us to navigate safely through the packed ice and narrow waterways. Our Zodiac excursions, guided by foremost Antarctic experts, will give us the freedom to explore remote locations and observe Antarctica’s abundant wildlife. Our journeys occur at the peak of the summer season. Bathed in long hours of daylight, the area will be erupting with wildlife activity.

During the next few days we will see the most dramatic scenery and biggest variety of wildlife in Antarctica. We will also have a chance to step ashore and leave our footprints on the seventh continent. A truly profound and exhilarating experience!
