Polar Expedition – PONANT

Polar expedition to the heart of the ice kingdom that is the Antarctic Peninsula. Embark on an unforgettable 11-day trip and let yourself be enchanted by the breathtaking landscapes inhabited by amazing wildlife.

The beginning of your cruise will be marked by the crossing of the mythical Drake Passage, during which you will likely be accompanied by several Cape albatrosses and petrels, the sentinels of these agitated waters. Your ship will arrive at the white continent, realm of the unexpected. If time and ice conditions allow, this extreme environment, where nature reigns supreme, will allow you to discover some of its most beautiful secrets through countless discoveries.

In this uninhabited land, which was not explored until the 19th century, your encounters with wildlife will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of your experience. Gentoo, Adelie and chinstrap penguins, humpback whales, seals and seabirds will create some treasured memories that will last a lifetime.

Every day, on land, aboard your ship or during a Zodiac® tour, you will be surrounded by a grandiose landscape that alternates from icebergs to blocks of ice and ancient glaciers.
