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.

North Pole
Reaching 90 degrees north and the champagne celebration of reaching the North Pole aboard the most powerful icebreaker in the world!!
North Pole
The shore landings on the scenic and serene islands of Franz Josef Land were the most exciting components of the voyage. I felt like a real explorer, stepping foot on land that I knew few people have, or will ever have the opportunity to walk on.
North Pole
Reaching the North Pole and realizing that we were among those few in the world to have been able to do so.
