Antarctica
The Antarctic voyages of the Austral Summer echo the journeys of the great explorers. Follow in the footsteps of Shackleton, Scott and others as you view some of the most exciting wildlife in the world. Vast colonies of penguins, seals and seabirds live unlike anywhere else against a vast backdrop of white wilderness with soaring glaciers, cliffs and icebergs. Humpback, Minke, Southern Right, Blue, Fin, Sei, Orca, Pilot and Sperm Whales are regularly seen in these waters. Some of the vessels we work with have full icebreaking capability, allowing them to reach areas not possible on lighter weight vessels. The smaller vessels we prefer to use also allow you more time with the experts on board and whilst on excursions off the ship. For some this is a once in a lifetime experience, although we find that many return time and time again to this truly unique continent.
