ITINERARY
Mar
16 Drake Passage Navigation
Navigating
the intrepid Drake Passage is made for the boldest of explorers.
Petrels and albatrosses that glide across the skies guide the way. To
witness its awesome power makes the journey to Antarctica all the more
triumphant.
The
Drake Passage leads you from the southernmost region of the Americas to
the Antarctic Peninsula, the northern point of The White Continent.
This waterway where cold southern ocean meets warm northern sea water
creates powerful currents that test your mettle.
But
the rewards for the journeyer that braves these waters do not compare.
The meeting of warm and cold waters creates an environment that
attracts extraordinary wildlife. Drake Passage offers the chance to
witness the likes of humpback whales and hourglass dolphins that
accompany the voyage. The soundtrack of the 48-hour journey through the
Drake Passage includes the crash of the ocean against the ship and the
cry of petrels, skuas, and gulls.
While
the waterway is famous for its challenging navigation, you may still
get another side of the Drake Passage. On some occasions, the channel
is calm and tranquil, making for a pleasant voyage into Antarctica.
That’s one of the more splendid characteristics of the Drake
Passage - you never know what you will get.
As
you emerge from the Drake Passage, the mammoth, icy peaks of the South
Shetland Islands loom ahead, greeting you on your victorious landing.
You have completed the rite of passage to explore the seventh continent.
Mar
17 Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula – Captain’s
Choice
Nicknamed
The White Continent for its vast expanse of icebergs, snow and
glaciers, Antarctica is often the final frontier for experienced
explorers to conquer. As you navigate Antarctic waters, you may set
foot on sites like Beak Island, Brown Bluff, Cierva Cove, Hidden Bay
and many more. Each landing throughout the continent offers its own
unique landscape, from expansive tundra to rugged mountain peaks, all
beckoning you to follow the paths that few explorers have trekked
before. CAPTAIN’S CHOICE - Your Captain will expertly
navigate ice floes, icebergs and changing sea and weather conditions to
ensure you experience the most from your expedition. Each day is a new
adventure filled with a spontaneous sense of exploration as your
Captain works with our expedition team to determine possible shore
landings and Zodiac safaris. All itinerary routes serve as examples and
are subject to change based on current conditions, prioritizing the
safety and optimal expedition experience for all guests.
Mar
17 Crossing the Antarctic Circle - Captain’s Choice
As
you cross the Antarctic Circle at the 66th southern parallel, you enter
what feels like another world, creating a connection with your inner
explorer spirit. It’s a space rarely navigated, with narrower
channels that bring you closer to ice floes, snow-capped mountain peaks
and wondrous icebergs, making for a picture-perfect scene. When you do
make the crossing, you join the Order of the Red Nose, the select few
who navigate deep into the furthest reaches of The White Continent, an
unbeatable feeling of triumph. CAPTAIN’S CHOICE - The
Antarctic Circle Crossing may be attempted on a different date during
the expedition than indicated on the itinerary due to changing
conditions. Your Captain will expertly navigate ice floes, icebergs and
changing sea and weather conditions to ensure you experience the most
from your expedition. Each day is a new adventure filled with a
