ANTARCTICA
note

Antarctic Peninsula – Volcanic Isles – Pristine Bays – Icy Canyons – Cliffside Rookery

note

Explorer Ship

note

Breakfast , Lunch , Dinner

With extended daylight hours at this time of year, you’ll be able to make the most of each day. Maintain a flexible schedule to take advantage of the unexpected—changing course to watch orcas perform off the bow or enjoying an after-dinner Zodiac cruise. You can anticipate opportunities to take walks ashore, explore by Zodiac or kayak, and experience close encounters with wildlife. The route will be determined by the conditions and the ever-changing ice. You might take Zodiacs out to see towering icebergs up close, walk along beaches and view roaming seals and penguins, or hike to a summit for a breathtaking view. Or kayak between icy canyons along a cliffside rookery in search of blue-eyed shags. You might experience the thrill of the ship crunching through the pack ice. As you encounter the volcanic isles and pristine bays of the peninsula, the team of experts will bring depth and insight to the experience, explaining the behaviours and interactions of different species, the geological and climatic forces that still shape Antarctica, the anatomy of a glacier, and even how to capture beautiful photographs of the places you visit. The undersea specialists capture images from the deep—revealing the hardy marine life beneath the ice—and the expedition leader is always on the lookout for the best way to experience everything Antarctica has to offer.

“ Bejing & Xian trip ”

The hotel is really lovely and the tour guide Risa is looking after us very well. You have done a superb job! Thank you so much!

Jeanette

“ Jordan & Qatar trip ”

We strongly recommend the Doha stopover and the guide we were given. Everywhere he took us was well organized and most interesting. He can tailor the time to suit the client. As for Jordan, one trip for a week is not enough. So much to see. We believe you should request Alaah for tour guide if possible.
