Antarctic Peninsula
A small team, the open ocean and a route shaped each day by weather, ice and the captain's decisions.
Admit it – you're excited, aren't you? Goosebumps already? How could you not be! You're about to embark on the journey of your DREAMS! As people who have sailed around the world twice, we can say with confidence: you're unlikely to find anywhere on this planet more breathtaking or more remote.
Because this is ANTARCTICA – the realm of heroic polar explorers, almost otherworldly figures whose stories become films. A place of fearless wildlife and ancient blue ice. Here whales surface to breathe, and comical penguins shoot out of marble-like waters like torpedoes. From a blue ice floe, a leopard seal gives you a sly smile: “Mmm... come to daddy,” as it rubs its flipper-like paws together. Curious penguin chicks will want to meet you. In the Southern Ocean, you'll watch the reflections of icebergs in the slanting rays of the polar sun. Or catch snowflakes on your lips in the white Antarctic night. Toward the end of the season, a sky of brilliant, shaggy stars will envelop you, with the Southern Cross among them. It will stay with you in your dreams for a long time. And you'll feel as though you've been born again. Because Antarctica is a dream. And we still have the chance to experience it in its pristine beauty.
With us, you can make that dream come true in four different ways – from the easiest option to the path of a hero. Which one feels right for you?
So, let's go!

Questions and answers
No. The crew is responsible for handling the vessel and for safety. You may take part in life aboard if you wish and in accordance with the captain's instructions.
A small group lives closer to the water and the route. The programme is more flexible, while landings and passages depend on weather, ice and the captain's decisions.
Safety takes priority over the schedule. The captain may change the sequence of landings, the route and passage times in response to actual conditions.
Crossing the Drake Passage gives you the complete sea-expedition experience. Fly & Sail saves time and suits travellers who want to spend more of their journey around the Antarctic Peninsula itself.
