Antarctica and the Polar Circle by Small Ship
12 days - Feb-Mar - From US $ 6,250

At the southern end of the world, the White Continent presents an environment so unique that it cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world. Those privileged enough to visit are forever changed by seeing the tall, magnificent, multicolored mountains of ice and snow, and witnessing the penguins and albatrosses that swoop and play. Step aboard the Aleksey Maryshev for a 12-day journey that will take you as far south as Antarctica will allow and allow you to do what few before have done--set foot on the Antarctic continent.

On this adventure, you will sail across the Drake Passage toward unique sites and animals such as Deception Island, a sub ducted crater with hot springs, an abandoned whaling station, thousands of cape pigeons, many Dominican gulls, brown and south polar skuas, and Antarctic terns, and the Gerlache Strait, which may present the opportunity to see humpback and minke whales. The apex of this adventure comes as you set foot on Antarctica in Neko Harbour and Paradise Bay, a place with stunning icebergs and spectacular deep cut fjords. The extraordinary memories will be cemented as you cruise between the glorious and sparkling icebergs aboard a zodiac in the inner parts of the fjords of this beautiful land.
