Cruise Overview

Antarctica cruise - Antarctic Circle Expedition

Spend 11 days exploring the wonders of Antarctica

With the milder summer weather, we’ll aim to journey below the Antarctic Circle to the secluded and magnificent Marguerite Bay.

There are opportunities for whale spotting, seeing young penguins, hiking, kayaking, ice-cruising, and even camping on the Antarctic snow.

Enjoy 11 days in Antarctica 

Join your Expedition Team for ice-cruising activities, shore landings and fascinating lectures. You'll get close to colossal glaciers and icebergs. We'll observe Antarctic wildlife in their habitat – colonies of penguins, seals, whales and seabirds, maybe even kayaking or hiking past them. 

South of the Antarctic Circle 

During the Antarctic summer, new routes through the sea ice below the Antarctic Circle become possible. Aboard your hybrid-powered ice-class expedition ship, we'll set course for Marguerite Bay and islands along the way, looking out for Adélie Penguins and visiting remote historical stations.
