Antarctica - Oceanwide - Across the Circle for Divers (12 days)
Each season we organise a small group expedition to special dive sites along theAntarctic Peninsula. Our aim is to combine our voyage to the Peninsula and across the circle with opportunities for divers to explore icebergs and penguins from a very different angle as they negotiate the icy waters and discover the secrets of Antarctica below the surface. This is an ideal objective for those who wish to extend their diving experience in the natural splendour of the Antarctic.
For non-divers there are no shortage of photographic possibilities along the Antarctic Peninsula where one can simply savour the natural beauty of this ice-bound land. Whether enjoying the surreal landscapes, or diving, there is ample time to utilise the ship's fleet of zodiacs to explore the rich diversity of wildlife that flourishes in the sheltered bays, clustered castles of icebergs and steep glaciers that characterise the shoreline.
