Itinerary
Crossing the geographical milestone of the Antarctic Circle is a moment to celebrate. In this frozen realm of extraordinary beauty, powerful orcas and leopard seals patrol the waters, while ethereal snow petrels glide through the skies above bristling mountain ranges and surreal icebergs. As we thread our way through an intricate network of icy waterways, we aim for the glorious Crystal Sound at the mouth of The Gullet. Prepare for an unforgettable Antarctic adventure, where majestic whales, shimmering peaks, and mesmerising ice formations await.
