Antarctic Small-Ship Expedition II
12 days - Dec-Jan - From US $ 6,250

Experience the splendor of the midnight sun as it glances off ice shelves, and the joy of watching penguins as they waddle, play and slide around and down slopes while doing their wonderful dance into and out of the water. Hear the beauty in the cry of the albatross and the bark of the seals. Watch as flocks of albatrosses, cape pigeons, southern fulmars and petrels follow as you sail through the Drake Passage. During this twelve day adventure aboard a Russian research vessel, you will experience this and so much more.

As you sail through the beautiful landscapes of the Antarctic, there will be plenty of opportunities for zodiac cruises among the icebergs, where you may come across leopard seals, crabeater seals and minke whales. You will experience both the awe in the shimmering color of the icecaps that rise large in the distance, and a sense of smallness as you float by an iceberg. Feel the chill in the wind as it howls over the ice. Only in Antarctica, the White Continent, can these sensations and experiences be found. It is a place of magic and mystery, laid out for you to discover. Antarctica is not the end of the world, but rather the beginning of an adventure that you will never forget.
