Antarctic Explorer
Experience one of the world’s most awe-inspiring destinations on this incredible Gecko’s voyage. Say hello to an abundance of wildlife, including five species of seals and massive rookeries of gentoo, Adélie and chinstrap penguins as well as a profusion of seabirds ranging from albatross to skuas. You might even get the chance to watch as whales crest the surface of the waves right in front of your eyes.
Antarctica boasts some of the most dramatic scenery in the world, and you will be left awestruck as we sail aboard our well-appointed expedition vessel. Spot icebergs slicing through the waters of Paradise Harbour and Hope Bay, including phenomenally huge ones that house caves shrouded in eerie translucent light.
You’ll be in the safe hands of our experienced expedition crew, some of whom have travelled to this continent over 100 times.
Note: Weather, ice and other mitigating factors may result in changes to our itinerary and alteration to certain shore excursions.
