Discover the essence of Antarctica on this 10-day Classic Antarctica expedition, sailing from Ushuaia aboard the RMS St Helena. Designed as a shorter yet fully immersive journey, this voyage brings you into the heart of the Antarctic Peninsula, where towering glaciers, sculpted icebergs, and dramatic coastlines define the southern wilderness.
Each day offers opportunities to step ashore for unforgettable wildlife encounters, cruise by zodiac through iceberg-studded bays, or join adventure activities such as kayaking and snowshoeing. The flexible itinerary allows the expedition team to adapt to the ever-changing weather, ice, and wildlife conditions to ensure you experience the very best of the region.
Wildlife is abundant throughout the voyage, with the chance to see bustling penguin colonies, seals resting on ice floes, and whales feeding in nutrient-rich waters. Expert naturalists and guides accompany every landing and excursion, enriching your experience with insights into Antarctica’s ecology, geology, and fascinating history.
Aboard the St Helena, you’ll enjoy comfortable accommodations, panoramic lounges, Jacuzzis, a sauna, and welcoming social spaces where you can relax after days of exploration.
