Antarctic Peninsula Cruise
Antarctica and the ScotiaSeaare among the last pristine destinations in the world. With its monumental icebergs coming in all shapes and sizes - some raising 10,000 feet above the sea, Antarctica is home to some of the Earth's most unique animal life such as Albatrosses with 10-13 foot wingspans, Crab eaters, Elephants, Fur Seals, Humpbacks, Leopards, Minkes, thousands of breeding Penguins, Weddells, and last but not least, magnificent Orca Whales. We visit this unique wildlife, devoid of human population, during the height of its summer season when the seagoing channels have opened to their greatest extent and wildlife is at its most prolific.
