Unlike anything you have experienced before, an expedition to Antarctica’s Ross Sea region will create stories for life. End-of-the-Earth landscapes, gem-like glaciers, immense tabular icebergs and jagged mountain ranges are the setting for some of the planet’s most prolific wildlife displays. You’ll follow in the footsteps of some of the world’s greatest explorers joined by special on board guests Robert Swan—the first person to walk to both the North and South Poles—and his son, fellow explorer and environmental advocate, Barney Swan. Adding further depth to your journey, Ian Godfrey, Head Conservator at the Mawson’s Huts Foundation, will also be on board to share invaluable insights into the region’s rich history. Go further by taking an exclusive helicopter^ flight to land at the McMurdo Dry Valleys or to view the magnificent Ross Sea Ice Shelf from above. Set sail to Antarctica’s Ross Sea, a lifechanging experience unlike any other.
To experience the Antarctic Peninsula is an experience unlike any other. The glacial landscapes, unique wildlife and sense of isolation make for an unforgettable journey. This Expedition Voyage takes you further, with opportunities to dive below the surface in a submersible^ and a once-in-a-lifetime experience to travel by helicopter^ to the remote Snow Hill Island in the Weddell Sea, home to 4,000 breeding pairs of rare Emperor penguins. The pristine wilderness of the Falkland Islands blends white-sand beaches and aquamarine water with historic settlements and Gentoo penguins. Be inspired by this eclectic mix of natural beauty and vivid history as you learn the story of the 1980’s Falklands War. Often called the Galapagos of the Poles, South Georgia features impressive mountain vistas, world’s largest King penguin colonies and the history of Shackleton’s famed Antarctic expedition.
