Antarctica: The Peninsula Charter Itinerary

Antarctica: The Peninsula Itinerary

Antarctica: The Peninsula Yacht Charter
An eight-day expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula, the white continent, one of the last true wildernesses on earth. Beyond the South Shetlands lie colossal icebergs, calving glaciers and vast penguin cities, of whales and seals and silence on an overwhelming scale. Expect the flooded caldera of Deception Island and the tabular bergs of the Weddell Sea, a voyage unlike any other.

Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
Day 1

King George Island & Maxwell Bay

Largest of the South Shetlands and many travellers’ first stop in Antarctica, King George Island is dense with research bases and wildlife. Land among penguins and seals, then cruise on toward the peninsula.
Day 2

South Shetland Islands

Explore the South Shetlands, named for the Scottish islands at the equivalent northern latitude, ringed by glaciers and beaches crowded with penguins. Land on a wild shore and watch the colonies.
Day 3

Deception Island

Set your sights on Deception Island, whose flooded caldera you might mistake for a lagoon. Sail through the dramatic gap of Neptune’s Bellows into the volcanic harbour, and explore the eerie shore.
Day 4

The Danco Coast & Gerlache Strait

Spend the day exploring the numerous islands and channels of this breathtaking area on the west of the peninsula. Cruise among icebergs, watch for whales, and land amid a great amphitheatre of glaciers.
Day 5

Antarctic Sound & the Weddell Sea

Cruise the Antarctic Sound at the northeastern tip of the peninsula, known as iceberg alley for its colossal tabular bergs. Nudge among the city-sized icebergs by Zodiac, awed by their scale.
Day 6

Flight to Punta Arenas

Return on your explorer yacht to the South Shetland Islands, arriving in time for your flight north to Punta Arenas. Take a final Zodiac cruise among the ice and toast a voyage to the white continent.
