main attractions of this area are the dramatic icebergs and unique ice formations – deep blue, light blue, green, clear and snow white; they come in various shapes and sizes that thrill, beneath a sun that never completely sets (at this time of year). Conditions permitting, you’ll cruise through the Lemaire Channel, a waterway that flows between spectacular snow-covered cliffs, on the lookout for orcas and humpback whales. Evenings are relaxed, with a mix of lectures, chats with the expedition team and documentary films – or perhaps enjoying the entertainment in an onboard lounge or reading in the ship’s library.

11 - 12. DRAKE PASSAGE CROSSING Your return trip through the Drake Passage affords quiet time to reflect on the experiences shared with your fellow cruisers, exploring a frozen continent that few travelers have ever set foot on. During your passage onboard lectures continue to enrich your understanding and memories of Antarctica. Take the opportunity to enjoy the many amenities of your state-of-the-art ship – including a Fitness and Beauty Corner and evening entertainment, along with the friendships made during this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
