Spirit of Antarctica: Greg Mortimer/Sylvia Earle
Antarctic Peninsula
Antarctic adventures are best enjoyed in the early summer, when near-midnight sun powers an explosion of life along the shore and brightens the thought of camping out, early alpine climbing starts or extended kayaking trips. Penguin highways are busy with traffic as parents hurry to fatten chicks and waterways are alive with whales and seals. We visit historic sites and step onto the most spectacular continent on Earth
- Penguin colonies alive with nest building
- Zodiac cruise amoungst water-sculpted icebergs
- Step ashore the Antarctic continent!
- Visit historic huts and scientific stations
- Antarctic marine life - seals and whales
- Kayak, climb, camp or snorkel!
Stewart's Take
An expeditionary voyage with many adventure options and the very latest in small ship cruising

Expedition Vessel: Greg Mortimer/Sylvia Earle

These two state-of-the-art sister ships 104-metre ship are purpose-built expedition vessels accommodating an average of 132 passengers per voyage. They operate with a combination of low energy consumption, high fuel-efficiency and a streamlined design. With the revolutionary ULSTEIN X-BOW® to cross oceans more comfortably, expansive observation decks, inviting communal areas and unsurpassed environmental credentials, these ships offer the perfect base camp for adventures at the outer limits of human exploration. Not only can they contend with the most adverse weather conditions, added creature comforts make for a more enjoyable journey out on the open ocean. Zodiac loading platforms and activities platform allows for faster disembarkation from the ship – to get out on your adventure quicker, whether by zodiac or by kayak. You will find indoor lounge areas with floor-to ceiling windows and panoramic views, and multiple open decks with expansive 270-360 degree views. There is no shortage of spaces to take in the majesty of the incredible world outside! On all expeditions you will meet naturalists and local specialists, who offer presentations on their area of expertise to deepen your understanding of the region you’re visiting. Join the team in the lecture theatre for presentations covering topics as broad as history and culture, biology and climate change, but they have one thing in common: they all aim to engage, educate and entertain. From the European Arctic to the depths of Antarctica, and other far-flung destinations in-between, she will make your journey a breeze!
