Photo taken during the Antarctica Cruise Antarctic Peninsula - Christmas, 12 days / 11 nights aboard the Polar Star

Although it is the Austral Summer, it may seem to be a Winter Wonderland and the perfect place to celebrate Christmas and the holiday Season. On this magical journey explore the Worlds largest wilderness with historic sites and wildlife – see penguins, seals, seabirds and whales in their natural environment. Each day will also celebrate one of the different holiday traditions from around the world. This seems fitting while in a land effectively owned by no one, yet collectively managed and protected by the Antarctic Treaty Nations.

DAY 1 : Ushuaia, Argentina

Embark in Ushuaia.

DAYS 2 & 3 : At Sea

As the ship steams across the Drake Passage, the program of informative lectures begins and a constant watch for birds and marine wildlife is kept.

DAYS 4 – 7 : Antarctica

Cruise amongst the islands and in the fjords and bays watching for whales surfacing, seals basking on ice floes and penguin activity along the shores. There is excellent Zodiac cruising in places such as Neko Harbour and Paradise Bay. Landings are planned at historic and wildlife sites such as Petermann Island, Port Lockroy and Vernadsky.

DAYS 8 & 9 : South Shetland Islands

At the top of the Antarctic Peninsula, these islands are well known for penguin rookeries and the black lava sands of Whaler’s Bay on Deception Island. Landings in these islands may also include Hannah Point, Arctowski and Penguin Island.

DAYS 10 & 11 : At Sea

Time at sea is filled with lectures, recaps, watching for wildlife and time to relax.

DAY 12 : Ushuaia, Argentina

Disembark in Ushuaia.
