Featured Expeditions

11-Night Ushuaia Roundtrip

As you cross the Antarctic Circle at the 66th southern parallel, you enter what feels like another world, creating a connection with your inner explorer spirit. It’s a space rarely navigated, with narrower channels that bring you closer to ice floes, snow-capped mountain peaks and wondrous icebergs, making for a picture-perfect scene you’ll want to capture on your camera. On this expedition, aside from joining the Order of the Red Nose, you’ll also explore the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands. December brings Gentoo, Adélie and chinstrap penguin courtship rituals in the Antarctic Peninsula while January brings you to Weddell seals molting in the South Shetland Islands. In February you may see leopard seals or orcas hunting while in March albatross chicks begin to hatch, looking absolutely charming in their downy feathers.

9-Night Ushuaia Roundtrip

Antarctica is a destination that pushes explorers beyond their personal comfort zones. Aboard our intimate yachts, you’ll experience the best of both all-inclusive comforts and an epic expedition. With the guidance of historians, naturalists, photographers and other experts in their fields, as well as a world-class expedition team, you’ll gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for these pristine environments. Extraordinary wildlife abounds, leaving you with a greater sense of awe. November in the Antarctic Peninsula marks the start of seabird courting season while chinstrap and Adélie penguins begin nesting and breeding along the South Shetland Islands. Here, Weddell seals also form large colonies. January to February brings more activity among leopard seals and penguin chicks as they hatch and learn to swim. In March, listen for the mating song of leopard seals as they begin courting.
