While not a great distance, the “White Continent” remains a world apart. Our expedition cruises are scheduled at the height of the Austral summer season — November through February — when waterways are open to navigation and wildlife is most active. What to Expect M/v Sea Spirit: The Sea Spirit’s ice-class hull, maneuverability and small size allow her to pursue itineraries not possible aboard conventional cruise company vessels. She boasts state-of-the-art navigation equipment, motion stabilizers as well as a long list of passenger amenities. Zodiac Adventures: To fully immerse our guests in the experience and take advantage of the many opportunities to view wildlife ashore, we utilize a fleet of inflatable Zodiac landing craft that can be deployed quickly from the back of the ship. We usually attempt several landings per day, permitting you maximum exposure to the many wildlife species and huge penguin colonies. Expert Guides: Our expedition leader and diverse team of polar specialists will guide you at landing sites and provide an informative program of onboard lectures, video presentations and discussions. Collectively, our naturalists, wildlife biologists, geologists and historians have been on hundreds of expedition cruises to Antarctica, and they know the best locations for both scenery and wildlife. Eco-Friendly Excursions: Our guides also ensure that our guests are able to explore this remote and fragile world in an environmentally responsible manner, leaving no mark on one of the last great untrammeled regions on Earth.Arctic Cruises Come face-to-face with some of the world’s most fascinating polar locales —Iceland, Greenland, Spitsbergen and the Russian High Arctic.
