Wild Antarctica
Welcome to the ice factory! Thanks to vast ice shelves that calve monstrous tabular icebergs, waters rich in krill and otherworldly landscapes, the Weddell Sea is one of Antarctica’s unique regions. Our new expedition ship, Greg Mortimer, is ice-strengthened to take you safely and comfortably between the Weddell Sea and the Antarctic Peninsula’s west coast for the best of both worlds.

• Vast tabular icebergs pass by in Antarctic Sound
• Retrace some of Shackleton’s and Nordenskjöld’s route
• Visit fascinating fossil fields with onboard paleontologist
• Capture Antarctic light with polar photography guide
• Delight in Adélie, gentoo and chinstrap penguins
• Hunting orcas, feeding humpbacks and slinky minkes
