Journey to the secluded and magnificent Marguerite Bay below the Antarctic Circle, a place that few have visited.
Nothing quite prepares you for it. Being surrounded by large groups of penguins huddled on the ice floes, avoiding the cunning leopard seals that hunt them. Majestic, migrating whales glide among amazing icebergs, hunting the shoals of krill they feed on. Bird enthusiasts should look skywards to spot some of the 45 species of Antarctic seabirds that live here, such as skuas, cormorants, petrels and terns. You'll get close to colossal glaciers and icebergs that make you feel like you are a part of a different world. Crossing the Antarctic Circle and continuing well south to Marguerite Bay, explore various islands along the way. Join the Expedition Team on landings and ice-cruises whenever opportunities present themselves. You may even get a chance to go kayaking among the icebergs or even camping on the Antarctic snow. Back on board, the Expedition Team will continue their lectures, helping you grow in your insights into the frozen continent.
