Tour Description

Celebrating landing on your 7th continent, celebrate an important birthday, or simply just celebrate the beauty and magnificence that is Antarctica!  Journey with us to the Antarctic Peninsula and be wowed at all it has to offer – calving glaciers, huge icebergs, stunning mountain scenery and rocky beaches. We get up close with unreal wildlife encounters, sit among the penguins as they go about their daily lives, watch a leopard seal lounging on the ice, watch a whale breach the surface of the water. 

Join us in Antarctica as we explore the South Shetland Islands, go zodiac cruising and make shore landings in the Antarctica Peninsula. Explore a little of Antarctica on foot,  or visit interesting historic sites. Participate in "Citizen Science" -  where you help us with real-world scientific research, or be assisted in your photography with an onboard coach. There will also be opportunities for camping or kayaking for those that would like some extra adventure!

Get ready to celebrate the beauty of the white continent.
