Cruise Overview
|
This journey takes us to one of the world’s most awe inspiring destinations. On this exciting expedition, we have the opportunity to thoroughly explore the South Shetland region and Antarctic Peninsula searching out breathtaking bays and islands, and marvelling at extraordinary natural wonders. We’ll also hope to travel further into the polar regions than on any other Peregrine expedition, journeying as far as the Antarctic Circle at 66* 33’ south.
Sailing aboard our well-appointed vessel, we see Antarctic nature in all its glory. These areas boast an extraordinary abundance of wildlife, including five seal species and massive penguin rookeries as well as a profusion of seabirds from albatross to skuas. A wildlife highlight may well be watching a variety of magnificent whale species in close proximity as they crest the surface of the waves.
On the White Continent, we also see remarkable landscapes of ice. At Paradise Harbour or Hope Bay we find many icebergs dotting the waters, including some that are colossal in size, containing natural caves shrouded in an eerie translucent light. On land, there is a sweeping ice sheet, masking mountains and filling trenches binding together an entire continent that is about the size of Africa. We’ll even have the chance to camp ashore on this expanse of ice if conditions are suitable.

In the company of experienced expedition crew, we’ll have the chance to set foot on the Antarctic continent, and even to spend a night camping out on shore if you wish.
