The world's most unique destinations are waiting for you.
Discover some of the possible landing sites you may visit on an expedition cruise to Antarctica.
Discover some of the possible landing sites you may visit on an expedition cruise to Antarctica.
Half Moon Island
Enjoy a stay on this staggeringly photogenic island. We will explore the serrated and creviced cliffs, home to a large colony of chinstrap penguins.
Deception Island
This distinctive ring-shaped volcanic caldera has a navigable opening into the flooded interior.
Yankee Harbour
One of the main sights here is the large colony of gentoo penguins, estimated to be 4,000 breeding pairs.
Antarctic Sound
The huge ice shelves of the Antarctic continent give birth to mile-long tabular icebergs. The strong currents of the Weddell Sea bring these massive flat-topped bergs north into the Antarctic Sound.
Brown Bluff
This 2,440 ft high, rust-coloured bluff is volcanic and the beach is peppered with lava “bombs”.
Cuverville Island
Cuverville Island boasts the largest known colony of gentoo penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula.
Neko Harbour
Neko is one of the places in this area where we have a chance to land on the Antarctic mainland.
Paradise Harbour
Paradise Harbour offers another rare opportunity for a mainland landing.
Lemaire Channel
This wide channel is one of the most beautiful passages in Antarctica.
Antarctic Circle
We hope to explore beyond the Circle at 66°33’ south - far beyond the limit of most cruises in Antarctica - on some of our expeditions between January and March.
Falkland Islands
Vast open spaces and white sandy beaches will greet you in the Falklands. Known as a birdwatcher’s paradise, the islands also host five different species of penguins.
South Georgia
Home to stunning fjords, mountains and beaches, South Georgia provides a perfect environment for animals to flourish. Expect to see seals and an abundance of penguin colonies.
Our experts are here to safeguard both explorers and the pristine environment. They serve as your invaluable hosts throughout your expedition cruise in Antarctica.

“I am really excited to share knowledge with our guests about the unforgettable nature and beauty that we encounter in Antarctica – like whales feeding, penguins porpoising, and amazing scenery.”
– Tudor, Expedition Team Leader
There isn't much life in the Antarctic. While the landscape may seem somewhat desolate to the untrained observer, it is actually one of the most interesting places on earth. Apart from a few herbivorous Antarctic creatures, all animals on the southernmost continent are predators.
There are four types of seals that live in the waters surrounding Antarctica: leopard, crabeater, Weddell, and southern elephant. All seals are fairly slow predators that hunt by waiting in places their prey is likely to appear. Most of them are unlikely to pay humans much mind at all—except for the leopard seal.
This seal, named for its characteristic spots, has been known to become aggressive with humans in small boats. They're fierce predators and are perfectly happy to eat anything. Although they don't attack humans often, it's best to give leopard seals a wide berth.
During the austral summer, Antarctic waters are full of many different types of whales looking to eat fish, squid, and plankton. Killer whales are one of the species travelers might be able to spot on their trip; these are the most aggressive and ambitious hunters, as their sights are set on seals, seabirds, and even other whales. They're perfectly capable of taking down creatures that are much larger than they are, provided they hunt in groups.
The world's favorite Antarctic creatures, penguins mostly eat krill and very small fish. They spend most of their time in the water, but usually come on land to mate and raise their chicks.
Although penguins in the region don't think of humans as a threat or a meal, it's still best to exercise caution when around them. They're not shy around people, and may come right up to you—still, they can and do bite, so it's wise to treat them the way you would any other wild animal.
