Set off on a 12-day Polar Circle Quest, beginning in Ushuaia and sailing across the Drake Passage toward the pristine wilderness of Antarctica. This voyage takes you into the heart of the White Continent, where towering glaciers, vast icebergs, and rugged coastlines create a landscape unlike anywhere else on Earth.
As you venture south, you’ll explore the iconic waterways of the Antarctic Peninsula and navigate ice-choked channels on the approach to the Antarctic Circle. Each day brings opportunities for zodiac cruising, wildlife viewing, and stepping ashore to witness thriving penguin colonies, seals, and—when lucky—feeding whales.
Your journey is led by a seasoned expedition team who craft each day’s program based on weather, ice, and wildlife conditions. Their expertise ensures you experience the very best landing sites, scenic passages, and immersive activities available during your voyage.
Aboard the RMS St Helena, you’ll enjoy comfortable accommodations, panoramic observation spaces, enriching lectures, and all the warmth of an expedition-ready vessel designed for discovery. Flexible by nature, this itinerary adapts to conditions to offer a rich and unforgettable deep-Antarctic experience.
