Day 01: Punta Arenas & King George Island

Your adventure begins in Punta Arenas, Chile. After a pre-expedition briefing and a comfortable overnight stay in a hotel, you will take a private charter flight to King George Island in Antarctica. This unique approach allows you to bypass the Drake Passage and arrive directly in Antarctica. Upon arrival, you'll embark on your yacht, where your journey begins.

Day 02: Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula

Today marks your first full day exploring the Antarctic Peninsula, a region of rugged mountains and stunning glaciers. The Captain and the expedition team will determine the day's activities based on ice and weather conditions. Your first Zodiac safari might take you through a dreamlike seascape of icebergs and sea ice.

Day 03: Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula

The exploration continues as you venture to a new location, perhaps a shore landing on one of the many protected bays. Here, you may have the opportunity to walk among a colony of Gentoo or Chinstrap penguins, or observe seals resting on ice floes. The sound of the wind and the wildlife will be your soundtrack.

Day 04: Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula

As you continue your journey, you may encounter dramatic landscapes. The expedition team might take you to a site known for spectacular iceberg sculptures and calving glaciers. You'll witness the incredible forces of nature at work as huge pieces of ice break off and crash into the sea.

Day 05: Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula

Another day, another spontaneous adventure. The Captain's Choice could lead you to a site with a different type of wildlife, such as the elusive leopard seals or a different species of birdlife. A quiet moment on a Zodiac or a walk along a rugged shore will give you time to appreciate the serene majesty of this pristine wilderness.

Day 06: Exploring the Antarctic Peninsula

This is your final full day in Antarctica. It's a perfect opportunity for a last Zodiac ride or a final shore landing to capture more photos and memories. The team will seek out one last, incredible experience to complete your exploration of the White Continent.
