LUXURY TRAVEL ANTARCTICA
With no permanent human residents, Antarctica is the last untouched wilderness on Earth. The enormous “White Continent” features unparalleled frozen landscapes of colossal icebergs, snow-covered mountain ranges and deep fjords. Against the backdrop of the surreal Antarctic scenery, wildlife is in abundance, from vast penguin-covered hillsides to gigantic whales leaping from the icy depths below. Inspiring explorers for generations, here nature sets the rules. With the first recorded expedition in 1821, today’s intrepid travelers can follow in the footsteps of those early pioneers to discover this icy final frontier. An extreme, otherworldly beauty found nowhere else on Earth, Antarctica is a true once-in-a-lifetime destination.

ANTARCTICA 'S HIGHLIGHTS
ANTARCTICA 'S HIGHLIGHTS
Antarctic Peninsula
The Antarctic Peninsula is the northernmost tip of the continent. It features some of Antarctica’s most impressive scenery, including glaciated islands, spectacular plunging ice cliffs and magnificent bays. Whether stepping ashore to climb the spectacular mountain scenery or slipping quietly in sea kayaks amongst a maze of icebergs, travelers will experience the world like never before. Highlights along this wintry labyrinth include the tip of the peninsula’s Brown Bluff and Antarctic Sound. Further south, explorers will find Paradise Bay and Port Lockroy, as well as the Melchior Islands and Lemaire Channel beneath. Cruising through the serene polar waters along dramatic straits and narrow canals, voyagers to this spellbinding peninsula have the chance to observe Antarctic wildlife at its best - from gentle penguins and whales to apex predators like leopard seals and orcas.
Weddell Sea
On the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula, lies the Weddell Sea. Discovered by the British sealer James Weddell in 1823, this part of the continent is known for its extraordinary silence, enchanting atmosphere and unequaled serenity. Amongst the white stillness, explorers may encounter an abundance of animals including Minke Whales, Weddell, and Crabeater Seals, as well as the miniature Adelie Penguins. The vast and imposing Larsen Ice Shelf covers the edges of the Weddell Sea and towers above those that pass. The ice shelf itself calves off monstrous tabular icebergs which then float north through the depths. Such is the purity of this natural source that scientists have declared the Weddell Sea’s water to be the clearest of any sea on Earth, equivalent to distilled water.
Under the Antarctic Circle
For the most adventurous of voyagers, sailing further south from the Antarctic Peninsula will bring travelers to the deepest depths of the Earth. Under the Antarctic Circle, "the last ocean” of the Ross Sea is one of the world’s last marine sanctuaries. Its namesake, the Ross Ice Shelf, is the largest on the planet and boasts a surface area similar to the size of France. Witness to some of history's most impressive expeditions, this frozen wonderland of the deep south is home to remote snow-blanketed islands and striking bays of silent icebergs. The picturesque Marguerite Bay marks the start of the descent beneath the Antarctic Circle, where the impressive ice-bound islands of Charcot and Peter I can also be found. Truly a place of wonder and awe, this indomitable area of the Antarctic will bring explorers to the closest point possible to the South Pole.
