Antarctica has been inspiring explorers for centuries. And this voyage offers you the chance to discover why, with an unforgettable journey through the spectacular wilderness of the South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula. This is a place with an extraordinary and dramatic history; the silence, and the purity of its environment is something that cannot be described in words.

On land you will witness thousands of penguinsin their colonies, with snowcapped mountain peaks looming behind. During this trip, you will enjoy iconic Antarctic highlights, and you will be rewarded with memories to last a lifetime.

This Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and Antarctic Peninsula cruise is an animal-lover’s dream come true. The expedition explores one of the last untamed areas on Earth – a land of ruggedly beautiful landscapes and amazingly varied wildlife.

There are so many ways one can explore our Polar Regions. There is hiking and snowshoeing over rugged landscapes, or ascending mountains to get that perfect panoramic photograph.  There are trips inland where you can make friends with the local penguin population. Perhaps you’d like to explore the shorelines via kayak or Zodiac. Maybe you’d like to camp out under the Antarctic skies. Or, how about whales? Who wouldn’t want to go out and see some whales up close and personal?

Planning an adventure trip can be a bit tricky if packages limit your options as to how you can experience the Arctic or Antarctic. You want to do it all, and not have to follow someone else’s notions of what will be fun or interesting. That’s why we created our Basecamp adventure cruises.

During your trip you will use one of our self-owned vessels as the centre of all of the activities that we offer as ways to explore your Polar Region of choice. The vessel will stay for two or three days at specific locations to serve as a comfortable hub for a wide range of activities that will enable…

• …mountaineers to climb mountain ranges (soft climbing).
• …hikers to participate in long walks.
• …photographers to explore photo opportunities.
• …campers to enjoy life at shore base camps.
• …kayakers and Zodiac passengers to explore shorelines where the cruise ship cannot go.
