Antarctic Peninsula 2010-2011

For the 2010 - 2011 Antarctica Peninsula Season: We offer two styles of Antarctica cruising: voyages aboard the luxury vessel Clelia II (capacity of 100), and aboard the comfortably-refitted research vessels M/V Expedition (capacities of 120 passengers), Plancius (112 passengers) and Antarctic Dream (84 passengers).  All boats offer itineraries that visit the Falkland and South Georgia Islands as well as  the Antarctic Peninsula.

A visit to Antarctica unites one with the magical elements of polar wilderness -- a place that truly dwells apart from our human-created world. And departing Antarctica leaves us temporarily confused, as it is hard to imagine that we have truly witnessed the profusion of life, colors and crystalline purity of this fascinating region.

Antarctica evokes a longing to return, time after time, and the realization that not much has really changed since scholars started to philosophize and the early adventurers made the first tentative explorations of this continent.

Join us this season and follow the path of history’s polar explorers!
