The Antarctic Adrenaline Adventure
Tour Description
Join our adventure voyage to Antarctica! This extraordinary journey boasts NO SET ITINERARY, allowing the ebb and flow of ice, sea, and weather to guide us towards unparalleled excitement.
Step aboard our purpose-built, ice-class expedition vessel to intimately experience Earth's final frontier. Equipped with Zodiac landing craft and led by a team of seasoned expert expedition guides, our vessels bring you closer to nature. Tailored for adventure seekers, this unique voyage offers extra camping options, snowshoeing excursions, and a complimentary kayaking experience for all guests.
Departing from Ushuaia, Argentina's southernmost city, we brave the mighty Drake Passage en route to the last continent. The distinct X-Bow design of our expedition vessels ensures exceptional stability at sea, providing a smoother ride through Earth's challenging waters. The vessels' speed maximizes our time in Antarctica, delivering an unparalleled exploration experience.
Continuing south from the South Shetland Islands, we delve deeper into the inlets and bays of the Antarctic Peninsula, navigating the renowned Gerlache Strait. Here, dazzling ice cliffs and towering peaks emerge from frigid waters, defining a wildly beautiful alien landscape of icebergs, glaciers, mountains, and snowfields. Our skilled Captain and Expedition Leader strive to optimize opportunities for White Continent exploration.
This thrill-seeker's voyage includes a complimentary kayak excursion, extended onshore stays for more snowshoeing, and additional camping opportunities, echoing the spirit of past explorers. Shore landings and Zodiac safaris unveil penguin colonies, historical sites, and breathtaking glaciers, while our knowledgeable Expedition Team offers specially crafted lectures to enrich your matchless expedition.
With an extra day compared to our Classic Antarctic voyages, you'll have ample time to immerse yourself in the White Continent. While the voyage has no fixed itinerary, we always aim to visit sites showcasing the best of Antarctica, adjusting based on wildlife sightings and weather conditions. The whims of Mother Nature guide us, promising jaw-dropping scenery and landscapes wherever we roam!
