Highlights
See Antarctica emerge from winter and burst into spring. Watch penguins find their mates, build nests and care for their eggs.
Witness the unspoiled wilderness of Antarctica on Zodiac expeditions. Visit the South Shetland Islands – formed by volcanic activity – and venture onto the Antarctic Peninsula.
Have your camera ready for plenty of photo ops – Antarctica’s colourful sunsets are more common this time of year!
Feel the vastness of Antarctica during a time of year when fewer ships are in the water and the number of icebergs is at its highest – this is Antarctica at its most glorious.
Learn about Antarctica’s history and ecosystems during educational activities onboard with the expert Expedition Team who will guide you on your adventure.
Itinerary
With fewer ships in the water and the buzz of wildlife activity, spring is an excellent time to tick off a classic bucket list item – an adventure to Antarctica. On this 11-day trip, you’ll cross the Drake Passage, visit the South Shetland Islands and explore the Antarctic Peninsula. See penguins courting their mates and building their nests, whip out your binoculars for plenty of seabird-watching and whale-watching and take part in Citizen Science projects. As you explore, you’ll learn more about the incredible 7th continent from a knowledgeable Expedition Team who will lead onboard activities and Zodiac cruises. Do it all with a group of like-minded adventurers by your side aboard your ship, the Ocean Albatros.
