Early Antarctic explorers returned from their voyages to the deep south with tales of a magnificent, ice-covered land teeming with life, and you’ll have the opportunity to do the same AND capture it all on your camera.

Experience the awe-inspiring immensity of Antarctica, reducing your time on the high seas by flying across the Drake Passage in one direction.

Immerse yourself in the unimaginable beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula, where vast glaciers tumble into the sea, penguins are dwarfed by soaring peaks and humpback and minke whales feast on abundant krill. Zodiac cruise in secluded bays and quiet coves filled with brash ice, keep a close watch for the tail fluke of whales as they take a deep dive and find yourself surrounded by the world's greatest landscapes.
