Highlights of the Southern Spring | Antarctica
Tour Description
Discover the beauty of Antarctica on a 9-day expedition cruise that takes you deep into the Southern Ocean’s remote wilderness. Your adventure begins in Ushuaia, Argentina, where you'll board our purpose-built, ice-class ship for a smooth and steady crossing of the Drake Passage.
Equipped with cutting-edge technology, our ship’s design ensures stability, maximizing your comfort as we make our way to the South Shetland Islands. Once there, you'll board Zodiacs to visit glaciers, ice floes, and penguin rookeries, witnessing the incredible wildlife and pristine landscapes that define the Antarctic Peninsula.

A journey to Antarctica is always an adventure, but visiting during early spring takes the experience to a whole new level. Watch as penguins return to shore to build nests and compete for mates, and marvel at the pristine, untouched landscapes. Enjoy the breathtaking beauty of spring sunsets over frozen mountains.
