OverviewThis 22 day Expedition Cruise to Antarctica and the Sub-Antarctic Islands offers superb wildlife viewing opportunities, as well as the opportunity to explore some of the least visited regions of the world on foot and by zodiac. Enormous numbers of penguins, whales, seals and seabirds congregate in the food-rich waters along the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic shores. From volcanic islands to windswept ice shelves, snow-topped mountains and jagged ice bergs, the landscape is entrancing and dramatic. Visits to scientific bases, ruined whaling stations and museums offer the chance to absorb the fascinating natural and cultural history of the region.
This is an Expedition Cruise. Learn about our Travel Styles.

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.
