The 11-day Antarctic Express: Crossing the Circle voyage is designed for adventurers seeking to check off the polar milestone of crossing the Antarctic Circle (66°33′ South) while maximizing their time on the White Continent. By taking a convenient two-hour charter flight to and from King George Island, you entirely skip the notorious Drake Passage sailing, giving you nine full days dedicated to Antarctic exploration. The journey is led by the best expedition team in the industry, ensuring safety and an unparalleled experience.
The cruise focuses on the stunning Antarctic Peninsula, pushing farther south to the famed latitude of the Circle, a region known as the home of the midnight sun, Weddell seals, and vast expanses of sea ice. Daily Zodiac excursions and landings bring you up close to incredible wildlife, allowing you to walk among Adélie, Gentoo, and Chinstrap penguins, and search for apex predators like leopard seals and orcas. Beyond the classic experiences, you can add bucket-list activities like sea kayaking through iceberg-dotted channels, all while enjoying in-depth presentations from our expert education team on glaciology, history, and wildlife.
