JANUARY 3-20, 2023
Scenic Cruising in the Antarctic Peninsula is the most isolated continent on
earth, with rugged landscape that is 1200 miles long and reaches beyond the
Arctic Circle. Its shores are comprised of unusually sculpted icebergs, blue-tinged
glaciers, majestic mountain peaks and a steep ice shelf. Though the peninsula is
covered in icy tundra, it actually features the mildest climate in Antarctica, the
perfect environment for hosting the only flowering plants on the entire continent,
Antarctic Hair Grass and Antarctic Pearlwort. In addition, the icy waters surrounding
the peninsula cater to various species of seals, penguins and seabirds, including
the Cape Pigeon, the American Sheathbill and the Antarctic Tern.
Not only does this cruise give you ample time seeing Antarctica you also have
ports in South America to visit. Buenos Aires, Argentina is called the “Paris of the
South”, Montevideo, Uruguay is nestled between two giants, Brazil and Argentina
and the second smallest country in South America. The Falkland Islands long
served as a way station for ships, particularly whalers. Colorful houses occupy the
low rolling moorland bordering Stanley Harbor. It is usually cool and rainy and
visitors are often blessed with clear, sunny skies. Cape Horn is widely considered
to be the southernmost tip of South America and you will sail around and view
the culmination of the Andes mountain range. Ushuaia, Argentina serves as the
gateway to snow-capped mountains which plummet to the icy waters of the Beagle
Channel. Glacier viewing is amazing. Santiago, Chile is wine country with its scenic
vineyards. Call or email for a complete itinerary.
