EXPEDITION CRUISES TO THE SEVENTH CONTINENT
Discover the most pristine continent on Earth, largely obscured by snow and ice and surrounded by a landscape of glacial glaciers and imposing icebergs. Antarctica has the most nutrient-rich waters in the world, where penguins, albatrosses, seals and especially whales live in large numbers. With an expedition cruise you will visit at least various locations of the southern Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula , the most exotic part of Antarctica with a rich fauna. The many bays, islands and straits with resounding names such as Paradise Bay or Deception Island have very different characteristics. Longer routes lead past the very large icebergs in the Weddell Sea , the Falkland Islands, the tens of thousands of South Georgia king penguins or pass through the Antarctic Circle .
THE EXPEDITIONSHIPS: LUXURIOUS AND SPORTY OPTIONS
Expedition cruises to Antarctica take place from October through March. You travel by well-equipped expedition ship, adapted for safe sailing in the Arctic. The expedition cruises are accompanied by experienced guides who arrange your trip in detail, so that you can enjoy the exceptionally beautiful nature without any worries. On board are accomplished scientists who give lectures and guide you through the various zodiac landings, where you can observe nature up close. The exact route will always be filled in slightly differently, depending on tide and weather conditions. You can opt for large luxury or a very comfortable ship with options for sporting activities, such as kayaking. The desolate location and extreme climate conditions require adaptation and flexibility, as people are insignificant and vulnerable in this rugged icy landscape. It is also possible to reach the polar regions by plane. You save time without compromising the number of days you spend around the peninsula.
