Seasonality

There are four main routes that most operators follow – Classic Antarctica Peninsula, Antarctica Peninsula & Polar Circle, Antarctica Peninsula + Falklands + South Georgia, and Complete Antarctica. Special itineraries may include remote destinations like the Weddell Sea, South Sandwich Islands and Ross Sea…
