Fire & Ice : Antarctic cruise 25 February - 11 March 2011

Zodiac cruise in Paradise bay

The Last Great Wilderness

We are delighted to announce our 2011 tour to the Antarctic Peninsula. The towering walls of ice and glistening glaciers of the world’s last untouched continent inspire awe, whilst the abundant summer wildlife of whales, penguins, leopard seals and multitudinous birds contrasts with the mesmerising, trackless landscape.

Tierra del Fuego to Antarctica

We fly to Tierra del Fuego to embark our expedition ship Antarctic Dream. With just 39 outside cabins, all with ensuite facilities, this comfortable ship has been selected because it can get to locations to land passengers for extended visits among the islands and continent of Antarctica which large cruise ships are neither able nor approved by the IAATO to do.

The South Shetlands & Antarctic Peninsula

The cruise crosses the Drake Passage to the magnificent scenery of the South Shetlands and Antarctic Peninsula. Frequent landings enable the group to get close to penguin colonies. This tour is a chance to understand the importance of one of the most remote parts of our planet.

Accompanying scholar

Professor David Walton has been a practicing scientist with the British Antarctic Survey for 40 years and has visited many parts of Antarctica.
