A voyage of exploration in the Weddell Sea and Antarctic
Peninsula in search of Emperor Penguins
Journey south to the incomparable Antarctic Peninsula, home to an abundance of unique wildlife and dramatic landscapes that never fail to astound. During our voyage aboard the vessel Ortelius we hope to catch sight of the majestic Emperor Penguin, and our itinerary will be built around this objective ‐ we’ll even reserve three days to visit the Emperor rookeries by helicopter if weather permits. Our voyage will take us beyond the fringes of the peninsula, venturing into the Weddell Sea where iconic tabular icebergs stretch to the horizon. We’ll visit Paulet Island ‐ home to millions of Adelie penguins, and set foot on the continent at Brown Bluff, before visits to Half Moon Island and Deception Island. With regular shore excursions to walk among the many penguins and other wildlife, along with a fascinating and informative lecture program presented by our expert crew, the wonder of the Antarctic is yours to discover.
