Information

The mere utterance of the word Antarctica conjurs up vivid dreams for lovers of the polar lands. While the idea of a pleasure trip may have seemed far-fetched to early explorers who weathered the continent’s harsh conditions, the endless beauty of the continent has made it inevitable. While navigating in the footsteps of Paul-Emile Victor remains a privilege, the paths to conquering the lost continent have been refined, year after year, paving the way for your journey of a lifetime, or the pursuit of a passion for extreme experiences.

The last uninhabited continent on our beautiful planet, Antarctica offers an unparalleled world of ice. 98% of the continent is covered by Inlandsis, a glacial layer of packed snow as thick as 5,000 meteres. Through forces of nature, these sheets slide along the coastline, ending their journey by fracturing into icebergs. You’ll be captivated by the enormity and bright colours of the numerous icebergs that cross your path!

From Tierra del Fuego, you’ll navigate Drake Passage to experience the serenity of observing local wildlife in its natural habitat. Preserved from human disturbances, you’ll witness endless colonies of penguins that exhibit no fear as you observe them up close. Whales and a vast concentration of aquatic birds, including petrels and albatrosses, will fill your Antarctica experience with unforgettable moments.
