    The highlights of this cruise

    Welcome to the highest, driest and coldest continent on the planet! Welcome to Antarctica! From November to March it is summer here and the best time to travel. Where other ships have to turn round, the adventure begins for you. Thanks to the highest ice class for passenger ships, our expedition fleet travels through the polar ice world and you will see sights that you will never forget: glistening icebergs, huge glacier panoramas, colonies of seabirds, seals and, of course, thousands of penguins.

    South Orkney Islands , South Shetland Islands , Weddell Sea , Antarctic Peninsula

    The South Orkney Islands are a lonely, glaciated world of icy wilderness located in the Scotia Sea. They are home to chinstrap and Adelie penguins, which can be spotted here. With luck, you’ll also see icebergs drifting off the rugged coast. Find out how the polar explorers live at the Argentinian Orcadas Station (depending on weather and authorisation). Experience the South Shetland Islands between ice and awe intensively – on deck as well as by Zodiac. The Weddell Sea is home to stunning ice formations – whether as sparkling blue-and-white sculptures, gigantic tabular icebergs or creaking sheets of dense pack ice. Off the Antarctic Peninsula, your ship sails into the centre of the flooded caldera of Deception Island. Majestic glaciers and gigantic icebergs shimmer in Paradise Bay. The Lemaire Channel is also impressive, flanked by mighty mountains up to 1,000 m (3,281 ft) high. Icebergs ahead: at the bow and on the open deck areas, you can enjoy the best views of the white wonderland. You may even spot the flukes of blue whales, sperm whales and humpback whales as well as orcas.
