As you cross the Antarctic Circle at the 66th southern parallel, you enter what feels like another world, creating a connection with your inner explorer spirit. It’s a space rarely navigated, with narrower channels that bring you closer to ice floes, snow-capped mountain peaks and wondrous icebergs, making for a picture-perfect scene you’ll want to capture on your camera. On this expedition, aside from joining the Order of the Red Nose, you’ll also explore the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands. In November, keep an eye out for young elephant seals returning to land. December brings blue petrels gliding overhead along the Drake Passage. January is prime penguin hatching season onshore while the waters become plenty with orcas and humpback whales. In February you’re likely to see fur seals in abundance while in March cormorant chicks begin learning to fly.

After two days of navigating the Drake Passage, you’re greeted by the sight of monumental icebergs and expansive glaciers. It’s a vision that inspires a profound sense of humility in the face of such raw natural beauty. Each day brings a new adventure as an expert expedition team guides the way on up to two shore landings a day and Zodiac safaris, always included in every Antarctica expedition. Teeming with wildlife, this extraordinary destination invites you to marvel over the wonders this world has to offer and take a moment to appreciate how truly far away you are from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. While chinstrap penguins are incubating their eggs, Adélie penguins’ eggs are starting to hatch. Meanwhile, crabeater seals begin mating in the Peninsula. As you raise a glass with fewer than 200 fellow explorers at Water’s Edge, sitting just 30 feet above the sea’s surface, in celebration of the holidays, look to the water for signs of breaching. Baleen and humpback whales are seen more often in the Antarctic Peninsula at this time.
