Heading South
From Ushuaia, the world most southerly city, you board your converted icebreaker and head out along the Beagle Channel into the Drake Passage. Your destination is the rugged and beautiful wilderness of Antarctica – the white continent. Followed by wandering albatross and storm petrels the anticipation grows as you catch sight of your first giant iceberg and finally reach land.

Antarctica revealed
Many superlatives are used to describe Antarctica but nothing prepares you for its awe-inspiring beauty. Sculpted aquamarine icebergs float beneath vast glaciers and soaring cliffs provide the backdrop to abandoned whaling and research stations. Whilst the scenery is truly spectacular, for many the magical moments are those spent watching penguins run and slide on the ice, seals play or whales break the surface of the water.

Lyubov Orlova
On your voyage southwards the Lyubov Orlova is the ideal ship for a comfortable cruise, with 59 outside cabins, all with private facilities. A spacious dining room will provide hearty and delicious food during your voyage, and there is a fully stocked library with Polar-themed literature. She is also equipped with durable Zodiacs for cruising closer to the water and for any shore landings. Towards the end of 2006, this spacious, ice-strengthened ship underwent extensive renovations to the forward lounge, dining room and cabins.

Clipper Adventurer
The sister-ship of Lyubov Orlova, built in 1975, underwent a $13-million conversion in 1998. Carrying up to 122 passengers, she is prepared for a comfortable voyage with a fully equipped library, spacious lounge area and excellent restaurant facilities. She has a proud reputation as a well-appointed, elegant expedition ship for softer adventures. The ship is equipped with Zodiacs for shore landings and ocean-level cruising, yet offers fine dining and cabins with exterior views and en suite facilities.

Responsible Travel
All our Antarctic cruises adhere to the IAATO regulations and actively ensure that this pristine wilderness is protected and preserved.
