10-Nights Antarctica In Search of the Emperor Penguin Adventure Cruising

CALL

MT Sobek

A true adventure, this exciting Antarctica cruise in the Weddell Sea sets out to explore the range of the emperor penguins near Snow Hill Island. Watch for Chinstrap, Adelie and gentoo penguins as well as a variety of other birds from the ship, and survey the area via helicopter. Visit historic and volcanic South Shetland Islands. Helicopters provide an advantage in reaching the emperor penguin colony, but nature makes the rules in Antarctica. The itinerary will vary depending on the weather and ice pack.

Highlights:
  • Experience a bird's-eye-view of the magnificent Antarctic scenery with ship-to-shore helicopter transfers
  • Vie for the rare chance to see the famed emperor penguin rookery south of Snow Hill Island
  • Join noted naturalists and an expert Antarctic expedition team aboard the ship and ashore

Important Trip Details:
You can expect 1 or 2 half-day excursions for each day in Antarctica depending on weather conditions. During guided shore excursions, guests break up into smaller special interest groups with several options ranging from an easy shoreline walk to a strenuous hike (1-3 hours.) Excursions may include a Zodiac cruise to observe icebergs and wildlife (1-1.5 hours.)
