Antarctica

Antarctica is a destination where the ship makes exploration possible. With no conventional road network connecting the places you'll visit, expedition ships travel between remote bays, islands and stretches of coastline, with Zodiacs taking you from the ship to shore or out among icebergs and wildlife. Rather than cruising past Antarctica, the aim is to get out and experience it whenever conditions allow. Most first journeys concentrate on the Antarctic Peninsula, where mountains, glaciers, ice-filled channels and wildlife can all feature within a relatively compact expedition area. Other voyages go considerably further. Adding South Georgia brings vast seabird and penguin colonies alongside a fascinating history of exploration and whaling, while the Falkland Islands offer their own wildlife, landscapes and communities. Longer voyages combining all three aren't simply extended versions of a Peninsula cruise – they have a different rhythm, with more time at sea and a much broader range of experiences.
