ANTARCTICA PENINSULA IN DEPTH
Ushuaia Round trip
This voyage will be an opportunity to come as close as possible to the Weddell Sea, a real refuge for wildlife. We are privileged guests in these remote lands where we are at the mercy of weather, ice, tidal and current conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the IAATO.This cruise is your real Antarctic adventure. Aboard our 5-star ice-class ship, you'll experience this incredible part of the world in comfort and style. Traverse the formidable Southern Ocean with ease enjoying spectacular views from the ship's sweeping windows and decks. Thanks to her compact size, we can also sail through narrow passages and visit remote bays; usually where the most interesting things are found. After testing your mettle across the notorious Drake Passage, your arrival on the White Continent will be greeted with spellbinding landscapes and extraordinary wildlife.
With our experienced team, you'll explore this icy wonderland looking out for penguins, albatrosses, whales, sea elephants and much more. You can also take your Antarctic expedition to the next level on a traditional "polar plunge". Take a dip into the icy waters of the Southern Ocean and enjoy the exhilarating aftereffects over a hot chocolate on our Pool Deck. Make memories that you'll keep for a lifetime in this extraordinary part of the world. Seal your status as a true Antarctic explorer under the expert guidance of our experienced Swan Hellenic expedition team.
