Crossing the Antarctic Circle Cruise

Humpback Whale sighting, Melchior Islands

Too many highlights! Stunning scenery, wonderful wildlife, but mostly experiencing the peace, quiet and tranquillity.

Why Join This Cruise:

  • This expedition offers the most actual time spent in Antarctica itself of all the different trips to the Antarctic Peninsula
  • Be one of only a small handful of people per season to cross the Antarctic Circle
  • Travel aboard an ice-strengthened vessel, renowned for their excellent guides and expeditionary feel
  • Unique wildlife opportunities as well as optional adventure options (camping & kayaking) available on specific departures

Trip Overview
This trip is unique and a particular favourite of ours as it combines in a single expedition the distinct advantages of offering polar travellers the longest time to explore Antarctica with the rare chance to cross the intangible Antarctic Circle.

Travelling further south down the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula, where very few boats have the time to venture on shorter itineraries, this is the perfect trip for those looking to maximise their time on the White Continent and travel where few others venture.
