Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of Antarctica over five magical days. Surrounded by immense glaciers and towering icebergs, you will be captivated by the stillness and silence, occasionally broken by the calls of wildlife.

Each day will present new and thrilling experiences as our experienced Captain and Expedition Team guide you on landings, ice-cruises, and possibly kayaking among the icebergs. Onboard lectures will deepen your understanding of this frozen continent, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
