Taking an Antarctica cruise is to venture into one of nature's last, most remote wildernesses, the magical 'White Continent'. The absence of human presence here has protected Antarctica's incredible wildlife, offering you unique opportunities to view many species in close proximity, including seals, whales and penguins. Your Antarctic cruise will take you through the ice strewn waters of the Southern Ocean in the austral summer from November to March. Witness the break-up of the winter ice pack in the late spring, elephant seals establishing their territories and the hatching of penguin chicks, with frequent whale sightings in late summer.

On our extended Antarctic journey, you can also encompass a trip to the Falkland Islands, visiting these scantily populated and windswept islands that offer sanctuary to many species of wildlife. Aboard your Antarctic cruise explore Shackleton's historic journey and follow his footsteps across South Georgia, visiting the colony of King penguins at Salisbury Plain (weather permitting), before arriving at the Antarctic Peninsula itself.

During your Antarctic expedition, you will experience hands-on exploration in small groups of energetic, like-minded passengers, led by veteran guides who will give you a deep insight into the incredible environment of the Antarctic and Falkland Islands. On board Le Boreal, you will enjoy your Antarctica cruise in total safety and optimum comfort amid a distinguished team of expedition leaders, and experienced and friendly crew.
