Across The Circle

In 1998, we crossed the Antarctic Circle for the first time, discovering a whole new world of little explored bays and coves - a treasure trove of exciting and remote new places, where few have the fortune to visit. We return this season to make more wonderful discoveries and to explore these areas further. We have added an extra day compared to our other Antarctic Peninsula voyages to allow us the opportunity to travel further south, across the Antarctic Circle and complete landings on six full days. With regular landings on our zodiacs we walk among the multitude of penguin rookeries and seal colonies in the vicinity of Deception Island, Gerlache Strait, Paradise Bay and the Lemaire Channel. Throughout the voyage there are ample opportunities to enjoy our wildlife encounters and the dramatic landscapes of the most pristine region of the planet, under the guidance of our expert staff and crew.
