Experience the gift of adventure this holiday as you come upon scenes of pristine icebergs, glaciers and ice floes. Feel a sense of warmth and camaraderie as you connect with your fellow explorers at Water's Edge, situated just 30 feet above the sea's surface, watching for baleen and humpback whales breaching while enjoying a cup of hot cocoa and heated seating. A feeling of delight and wonder grows as you witness the courtship rituals of Gentoo, Adélie and chinstrap penguins. Possible landings in the South Orkney Islands bring you closer to the beautiful snow petrel, a species that can be elusive, so keep a close eye on the skies for this enchanting bird. Enter the empire of the regal king penguin, standing tall above his brethren amid fields of tussock grass and rugged cliffs in South Georgia, becoming part of their world if only for a moment, a truly spectacular holiday gift.
