Eight days of exploring the entire west coast of Spitsbergen, including Bjørnøya/Bear Island! This is a totally new and exciting cruise, taking you all the way from the far south, up to the 80th parallel. In the course of an intense week, you will experience Svalbard’s spectacular nature with beautiful fjords surrounded by jagged peaks and huge glaciers. During the cruise you will also experience the wildlife and the fierce environment of the Arctic. The birdlife is remarkable, and even the most blasé orni¬thologists will be completely astonished.

Days 4-8 North East Greenland. One of the reasons North East Greenland is so rarely visited is because of the enormous ice transport along the coast. The cold water currents out of the Arctic Ocean is transporting some 2500 to 2800 square kilometers of multi-year ice, leaving only this late summer period open for navigation
Scoresby Sund is the largest fjord in the world. Huge icebergs are set to a backdrop of spec-tacular mountains and tundra. Passing Cape Brewser entering the fjord will challenge the observers understanding of scale – everything here is at the Grand end.
in ittoqqortoormiit, several hundred Greenland-ers live. In this isolated hunting community, people still depend on hunting polar bears, musk oxen and seals for their livelihood. The only con-nection to the world is by air to Iceland and the occasional visiting ship.
The following days we hope to venture further north towards North-East Greenland National Park. This is the largest National Park in the world, being more than three (3!) times the size of the British Isles or about one and a half times the size of France. Number of visitors in this area is barely above four digits per year. Here we will have the possibility to visit places such as the legendary Alpefjord with its magnificent moun-tains, the Stauning Alps, some of them more than 10000 feet (3000 meters) high. The place names of North East Greenland witnesses a rich history of scientific expeditions, trapper over wintering and nations that wanted to plant their flag and claim new lands. Examples are: Geographical Society Island, Kong Oscar Fjord, Teufelschloss,

Day 10 Red Bay, Labrador. This charming com-munity on the southern coast of Labrador was considered the ‘World’s Whaling Capital’ during the 1560’s. The oil gathered here lit the lamps of the Renaissance. A significant decline in the number of bowhead and right whale herds was caused by over-hunting, which contributed to the demise and subsequent failure of Basque whaling in Red Bay towards the end of the 16th century.

CHILEAN FJORD AND ANTARCTICA 15 DAy With its incredibly rich fauna, the Southern Ocean is a drama on a grand scale in which the struggle for survival is constant. Elephant and fur seals, minke whales, many of the world’s 17 species of penguin, large flocks of sea birds – not forgetting the wandering albatross – give life to this surrealistic and beautiful landscape. This tour is a fantastic opportunity to take a close-up look the world’s most fascinating and charming continent. On board our comfortable ship you can hear presenta-tions by experts in Antarctica’s rich history, so that you can get even more out of what you will experience along the way
VOyAGE iTiNERARyDay 1 Buenos Aires/Ushuaia. Our voyage departs from the Island of Tierra del Fuego and the southernmost city in the world – Ushuaia.
Day 2 Drake Passage. This is where two oceans meet. On the way through the straits you can learn a great deal about Antarctica’s fantastic animals and history.
Day 3–8 Antarctica. This unending, white wilderness of a continent is full of fantastic impressions. There are more penguins, and penguin species, here than anywhere else on earth.
deception island, South shetlandsThe British merchant William Smith rounded Cape Horn in February 1819 in his brig ”Williams”. A powerful storm drove the ship southwards and brought about the discovery of the South Shetland islands.
cuverville island The Errera Channel – the waterway between Rongé Island and the Arctowsky Peninsula on the mainland – is narrow and beautiful. It was discovered by the Belgian professor Léo Errera. Here lie the islands of Danco and Cuverville, the latter being home to one of the largest known colonies of chinstrap penguins. The shallow water between the islands often causes icebergs to become stuck here, offering a fantastic spectacle when it occurs.
neko harbour Andvord Bay stretches far into the Antarctic Peninsula. From here it is just 50 kilometres to the Weddell Sea. The bay is surrounded by the mountains and alpine glaciers of the peninsula and its wildlife makes it a perfect arena for beautiful impressions. Neko Harbour is attractively located in the innermost part of the bay and takes its name from a whaler which was anchored here in the early 1900s.

untouched Antarctic nature ahead
Paradise HarbourThis place got its descriptive name from the whalers of history. When the storms were at their worst, this is where they came to seek shelter. On the northern tip, right across from Lemaire Island, lies the well known Waterboat Point. This was known as a base for daring expeditions in former times and is today the base for the Chilean research station Gonzàlez Videla.
lemairekanalenLemaire Channel was discovered by the German whaler Eduard Dallman in 1873 and later mapped and researched in 1898 by Adrien de Gerlache, who named it after his Belgian colleague Charles Lemaire. This 11 kilometre channel is a fantastic sight and is known as one of the most beautiful passages in Antarctica. If there is no wind, the clear water can reflect the steep mountains in a spectacular way.
Petermann islandThe same whaler, Eduard Dallman, also discovered this island and named it after the geographer August Petermann. The island is perhaps better known as an Argentinian hiding place from around 1950. It has been visited and maintained by the members of the Ukrainian base Vernadskiy close by and has been used in connection with expeditions in the area.
Port lockroy Port Lockroy was a British station from the 2nd world war which was turned into the museum of the Antarctic Heritage Trust (ATH) in 1996 and is one of the most visited attractions in Antarctica. As well as the museum, there is also a post office and a little souvenir shop. All the profits go to ATH, which works on the conservation of historic buildings in Antarctica.
wilhelmina BayThe mountains and high glacier walls of the Antarctic Peninsula around Wilhelmina Bay convey a mighty impression of ice and water. Everything from calving glacier fronts to floating ice, the magnificent contrasts of the interplay of the elements.This is where Shackleton came when he took his expedition across the ice on the Weddell Sea, in the hope of finding whalers who could come to their aid.
Antarctic Sound The Antarctic Sound lies between the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula and the Dúrville, Joinville and Dundee islands. Large flat icebergs from the calving glaciers in the Weddell Sea are driven here by powerful tidal currents. The area is known as Iceberg Alley among expedition people and offers a staggering assortment of floating ice of all sizes.
Brown BluffOn the coast of Antarctic Sound, on the western side of the Tabarin Peninsula, lies this volcanic elevation with its descriptive name. Here adelie penguins, chinstrap penguins, kelp gulls and cape petrel nest below the spectacular cliff, which rises 745 metres towards the sky. The stone beach is very suitable for landing outside the nesting seasons.
Day 9 Drake Passage. With our bow pointed north and unforgettable images and experiences in our souls, we are invited to a new understanding of the Antarctic and Chile.
Day 10-14 Tierra del Fuego. The mighty nature of the area around South America’s southernmost point is rich in history and impressions. We will use the following 4 days to explore this rarely visited region. The magnificent Chilean fjords are practically unknown to all but a few expedition vessels. you will have the chance to see several majestic glaciers during the cruise. Whilst we sail through the Beagle Channel you can see traces of the glaciers’ inexorable journey from rugged valleys to the sea – huge pieces of ice which mark the glacial route.
diego ramirezThe Diego Ramírez Islands are a small group of islands located in the southernmost extreme of Chile. Their land area is little more than 1 km². They were first sighted on 12 February 1619 by Marco Ramirez, and named after the cosmographer of the expedition, Diego Ramírez.
cape hornThis is the southernmost point of Chile and South America and lies almost 56 degrees south. The region is of great significance on account of its location, history, discoveries and trade routes.If the weather permits, we will anchor off Cape Horn, where you will be able to leave the ship to explore this deserted and yet romantic piece of land
Puerto williamsPuerto Williams is one of the world’s southernmost towns and lies on the little island of Navarino.
Beagle channelIt was named after the ship which carried Charles Darwin on his voyage of discovery – HMS Beagle. Near the southern tip of Chile the southern Andes mountains plunge into the icy water and leave a
region which is so wild and remote that it seems almost undisturbed. In these Chilean fjords, the ice has scoured its way between the mountains, leaving isolated islands and hidden bays. The Beagle Channel is about 240 km long and about 5 km wide at its narrowest point. To the west the Darwin Sound connects it to the Pacific Ocean. The biggest settlement on the channel is Ushuaia in Argentina followed by Puerto Williams in Chile, two of the southernmost settlements of the world.
Magellan StraitBefore continuing through the fabled waters of Patagonia, you will sail in one of the world’s most remote, undisturbed and beautiful places.The Magellan Strait lies right in the south of the continent of South America. The area comprises the strait itself, all the channels and fjords around the Brunswick peninsula. Magdalena IslandOne of Chile's largest and most important Magellanic penguin breeding sites is situated on Magdalena Island in the Straits of Magellan. The island has been designated a national nature reserve because of its importance as a penguin breeding site.
Punta ArenasThe capital of the Magellan region was the centre for trade, seafaring and culture. History is still being made here. Punta Arenas is the capital of the Magellan region. With 130,136 inhabitants, it is the largest town in the whole region.
Day 15 Ushuaia/Buenos Aires. After a spectacular voyage with endless impressions, we make landfall at the world’s southernmost town.

Marguerite BayThe first wife of French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot objected to his wanderings and divorced him citing abandonment. Charcot’s second wife Marguerite supported his expeditions and encouraged his travels. In return, he did her the honour of naming this most beautiful of bays after her. Rarely visited even by Antarctic standards, Marguerite Bay is dotted with ice-covered islands and surrounded by pristine mountainous scenery.
deception island, South Shetland islandsWhen British merchant William Smith was rounding Cape Horn in February 1819 in his brig Williams, a powerful storm drove the ship southward and brought about the discovery of the South Shetland Islands. Together with British naval officer Edward Bransfield, Smith sailed even farther south was initially credited with the discovery of Antarctica.
half Moon island, South Shetland islandsA small 2 km (1.2 mi) long island in the shadow of picturesque Livingston Island, Half Moon is a jewel of diversity in the polar landscape. The serrated and crevassed cliffs are home to a large colony of chinstrap penguins as well as Antarctic terns, kelp gulls, snowy sheathbills, Wilson’s storm petrels, and several species of seals are regular visitors.
yankee harbour, South Shetland islandsEarly sealers to the area used yankee Harbour on Greenwich Island as frequent base of operations because of its remarkable natural haven created by a spit nearly one kilometre long (0.6 mi). The spit is a favoured haul out for tired Weddell, crabeater, fur, and elephant seals now that the hunters are gone. Remnants from the sealing era can still be found including an old trypot on the beach.
