Antarctic Circle Expedition
À propos de cet itinéraire
Join us as we attempt to navigate through the sea ice and below the Antarctic Circle to reveal the seventh continent's secret realm. Milder summer weather means we'll aim to journey below the Antarctic Circle to the secluded and magnificent Marguerite Bay. Enjoy whale spotting, seeing young penguins, hiking, kayaking, ice-cruising, and even camping on the Antarctic snow.
