The Antarctic Peninsula is where many visitors experience their Antarctic dream. Here, impressive glaciers, huge icebergs, and snow-covered islands await you.

During land excursions, you can visit Petermann Island, where you can see Adelie penguins, blue-eyed cormorants, skuas, and large elephant seals.

Today you have the opportunity to enjoy the many amenities of your ship. From the deck, you can admire the impressive view of the sea.
