OverviewThe Antarctic Peninsula offers you the most dramatic scenery and biggest variety of wildlife in Antarctica. In the southern summer large ice-free areas provide breeding grounds for very large numbers of seabirds and seals. From King George Island and Penguin Island we will sail down to the beautiful Paradise Bay, where you can go ashore on the Antarctic mainland. The narrow and spectacular Lemaire Channel is surrounded by mountains and glaciers and a popular passage for several species of whales journeying up and down the sheltered Antarctic Peninsula waterways. In the Antarctic Peninsula Minke Whales, the smallest of the rorqual whales, and ferocious-looking leopard seals are common.

M/V Professor Molchanov
Built in 1983 in Finland, the M/V Professor Molchanov is a modern and comfortable oceanographic research vessel which has been converted for passenger use. With an ice-strengthened hull and passive stabilisers it is able to smoothly navigate scenic areas where many other vessels cannot, making it ideally suited for expedition cruising.
