Antarctica Classic – 11 days
A true adventure to the world's most remote wilderness! Our Antarctica Classic expedition focuses on the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula, home to some of the planet's most inspiring scenery and impressive wildlife such as Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adélie penguin rookeries, Weddell, Crabeater and Leopard seals, and Orca, Humpback and Minke whales.
Beyond the Antarctic Circle - 13 days
Join us on a voyage of discovery to Antarctica - a fabulous and virtually pristine paradise. The Peninsula also has a remarkable human history. During the voyage we will learn about some of the most important and dramatic expeditions to this remote corner of the world. We will pass colossal icebergs and countless colonies of penguins as we move towards crossing the Antarctic Polar Circle. Few travellers have ventured this far south, but with our fully equipped ice-strengthened vessel, we can access many remote locations other ships just can't reach.
Patagonia Experience and Antarctica – 20 days
With wilderness treks, cruising and a city stay, there truly is something for everyone. Travellers can marvel at the glaciers of Antarctica, explore the beauty of Patagonia, hike in El Chaltén in Glacier National Park, see the famous Moreno Glacier and visit spectacular Torres del Paine National Park. After, passengers will embark on the journey of a lifetime as they explore the fascinating continent of Antarctica on the MS Expedition.
Spirit of Shackleton – 20 days
Experience vast penguin rookeries and seal colonies on this awe-inspiring voyage to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands. This 20-day voyage visits historical sites of past explorers, and South Georgia, a former whaling station and home to prolific wildlife. Antarctica is sure to amaze any traveller seeking a true adventure to the world's most remote wilderness.
Grand Voyage to Antarctica – 24 days
Our most extensive voyage to the world's remote wilderness! This expedition spends extended time in the seldom visited Falkland Island, South Georgia Island and Antarctica. Also included is a full day at a King Penguin rookery and exploring the untouched coastlines of remote subantarctic islands. We then make our way south to the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula, home to some of the planet's most impressive wildlife and dramatic landscapes.
