Venture where few have gone with this Across the Antarctica Circle voyage where it is about more than just earning bragging rights. It is the chance to enter a different world more rarely seen, the Antarctic Circle with the famous coordinates of 66°33’S. It feels more isolated and colder than further north, with great swathes of pack-ice and dreamlike icebergs. Thread through pack ice and narrow channels where scenes of ice-clad mountains, feeding whales and lively penguin colonies become lasting memories.
