Description

Sail deep into Antarctica’s furthest reaches on this adventure of a lifetime. The ice on the Weddell Sea is too thick to navigate for most of the year, so only the lucky few get to experience this corner of Antarctica. Immerse yourself in polar history sailing where Ernest Shackleton’s ship became trapped in the ice in 1915. Watch giant tabular icebergs float past, and lookout for emperor penguins – a rare sight on any other Antarctic cruise.
