Southern Expedition
(Multiple departures, December 2011 to February 2012) Beginning and ending in Ushuaia, Argentina, this 15-day expedition goes one step further than tours offered by many Antarctic Cruise companies: we take you south of the Antarctic Circle and into the land of the midnight sun. Spot colonies of nesting seabirds, Zodiac-cruise through silent iceberg “graveyards,” and enjoy optional camping and kayaking adventures on all departures.

Crossing the Circle: Southern Expedition
The night with the perfect light, cruising through channels; Nesting penguins and the iceberg graveyard.
Crossing the Circle
It was an extraordinary opportunity to visit places under the polar circle, places seldom seen by human beings. A close experience with Nature in the last virgin place on planet Earth.

Crossing the Drake passage: the feeling to be part of the mariner's world! Crossing the circle: icebergs in the mist, a fairy world Penguins colonies: the strength to be two of us
