This 12-day expedition, aboard the Ultramarine, is designed as the most heli-focused voyage in the Antarctic, maximizing helicopter adventures and offering perspectives of the Antarctic Peninsula no one else can offer. The journey begins in Buenos Aires and includes a private charter flight to Ushuaia for embarkation. The route crosses the legendary Drake Passage, a polar rite of passage, before entering the biological Antarctic, south of the Antarctic Convergence. The core of the expedition is spent exploring the rarely-visited east side of the Antarctic Peninsula, specifically the Antarctic Sound, Erebus and Terror Gulf, and the great ice-filled Weddell Sea.
Included excursions feature at least two heli-flightseeing opportunities and one heli-landing amidst Antarctica's vast coastal mountains. Geological sites include Brown Bluff, home to volcanic rock cliffs, and islands with ventifacts and the remains of the KT Boundary, significant for fossil finds. Wildlife opportunities include viewing Adélie and Gentoo penguin colonies, seals, and observing icebergs from the Larsen and Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf. Days at sea are enhanced by the Ultramarine's amenities, like the Tundra Spa and sauna, and an enhanced onboard education program led by polar experts.
