Antarctica Discover sculptured blue icebergs suspended in cool waters, the dip of the albatross as it skims its wing along the crest of a wave, translucent reflections between striking white isles. Breathe the profound silence broken only by the splash of breaching whales, the groan of ancient glaciers or brash ice bumping alongside our safe and comfortable ice-class ship. Marvel at the dramatic land, sky and seascapes we pass, as we visit the lost continent, home to colonies of charismatic penguins on shore and magnificent whales below... A journey to the Great White Continent is the ultimate wilderness experience. Following in the footsteps of some of the world's greatest explorers Scott, Shackleton, Amundsen we uncover a land of unsurpassed beauty and majesty. Those fortunate enough to set their eyes upon this icy continent will be blessed with sights, sounds and sensations that scintillate the senses.
