Antarctic Peninsula Adventure
(4-departures this season)
11-day expedition departing from Ushuaia, Argentina.

Our days are filled with excursions ashore accompanied by our naturalist guides. *Ask about our special airfares to South America.
Journey Below the Antarctic Circle
(1-departure this season)
On this 13-day voyage, we journey further south than we do at any other time in the season. Our aim is to cross the Antarctic Circle, below 66 ° 33' south. We aim to head as far south as Crystal Sound, an icy sweep of water surrounded by the dramatic peaks of the Antarctic continent. The scenery here, combined with the extended light at the height of the Antarctic summer, make for truly jaw-dropping sights in every direction. Be quick, this expedition sells out every season! *Ask about our special airfares to South America.
The Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula (3-departures this season)
On this far-reaching expedition to the islands of the South Atlantic Ocean and the Antarctic continent, you revel in 19 awe-inspiring days of exploration. Busybody penguins in rookeries by the thousands, stupendous icebergs reflecting startling greens and blues, humpback whales feeding on krill, and, of course, the continent-sized sweeping ice sheet of Antarctica are just some of the highlights of this outstanding expedition. *Ask about our special airfares to South America.
