Tour Overview
The aim on this voyage is to head as far south as ice and weather permit. The adventure begins in earnest when approaching the Antarctic Circle. The ice-rated ship enables us to navigate through some of the world's most breathtaking waterways - many littered with brash ice, 'growlers' and colossal, stunning icebergs. After a few days exploring the 'deep south', there are further shore excursions on the northerly route along the Antarctic Peninsula. The ship is small enough to navigate through the narrow Lemaire Channel, with glacial walls towering high on both sides, leading to a jigsaw of jewel-like islands that are home to penguin rookeries, whales, elephant seals and countless seabirds. If you can spare the extra time, the rewards of such a unique icy pilgrimage are immeasurable.Exodus Exclusive VoyageThe mid-February voyage with Paul Goldstein and Chris Packham on board should be a bit special. In the middle of high season it is superb for ice, penguins and particularly whales. This will be an intense photographic expedition, running without sterile timetables, making the very most of the long daylight hours, and with no shortage of photographic and wildlife advice on board. Unbelievable close-up encounters with whales in this pristine wilderness will be high on the agenda.
