Antarctic Peninsula and The Extreme Weddell Sea
Join for a once in a lifetime expedition voyage to the Weddell Sea and the seventh continent. Experience the incredible wildlife in icy waters, stunning mountain scenery and gigantic icebergs during 11 action-packed days.
Duration: 11 days
Starts: Ushuaia
Ends: Ushuaia
Language: English Speaking Voyage
Departing Ushuaia in Argentina, you cross the mighty Drake Passage on our way to the South Shetland Islands, where it is planned to make the first Zodiac landing. From here you navigate the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula. It is planned to make landings at penguin rookeries, research stations and fascinating sights that allows you to enjoy the spectacular views. Continuing eastward, you will explore the Antarctic Sound with its mighty tabular icebergs and enter the Weddell Sea in search for wildlife. On your way back, it is planned to follow in Ernest Shackleton and the rest of the Endurance crew´s wake as you navigate close to Elephant Island. On no other journey can you experience so much pristine nature and varied wildlife in so few days!
Expedition cruises that plan to traverse into the Antarctic Sound and Weddell Sea allow their guests for real adventure as the giant ice shelves often changes the routes. The rewards are great though, as the pristine waters and krill rich environment invite many penguins and whales.
When Ocean Victory returns to Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia, depending on weather conditions, you might pass close to the mythical Cape Horn - the southernmost point on South America; a celebrated maritime landmark.
Any voyage to Antarctica is an adventure, but with a maximum capacity of 186 guests aboard Ocean Victory, this cruise offers a unique experience for the few. Shore landings, excursions, lectures and Zodiac safaris are easily accommodated to help you enjoy a matchless expedition experience.
Onboard the brand new strong ice-strengthened expedition vessel, Ocean Victory, it is sure to get close to the dramatic coastlines. Zodiac cruising and shore landings are an important and considerable part of the planned itinerary, hopefully enabling all expedition guests to set foot on the Antarctic continent, as well as the many surrounding islands.
Make sure you reserve your place, on this fantastic journey in good time, as this route is cruised only once during the season.
