Antarctica 2009

2009 Cruise to Antarctica

Land on remote shores where few have ever set foot. Enjoy personal, hands-on contact with this land's many marvels--Diamond-blue icebergs the size of city blocks, penguins by the hundreds and towering glaciers.
In Antarctica, the word 'extremes' takes on a new meaning. It holds the world's largest reservoir of fresh water. Yet it is a vast desert as dry as the Sahara.
It is a frozen wilderness locked in a Pleistocene time warp. Yet in summer, Antarctic skies are alive with swooping sea birds, its waters filled with the largest concentration of pelagic life on our planet.
Equally glorious is the stark, raw beauty of Antarctica. You'll cruise across seas of glass, passing glaciers calving with a thunderous roar and castles of ice, glittering prisms riding in an ink-blue sea.
In the midst of these awesome landscapes, intimidating in their isolation, there's the comfort of Explorer II (Minerva)
Purpose-built for cruising the ice floes, this award-winning ship offers a sense of style and elegance that is unprecedented in Antarctica.
In spite of her usual capacity of 394 guests, we're allowing only 198 guests for this expedition.
Moreover, to explain the wonders you'll encounter, we've also taken great care to assemble a truly outstanding team of eminent Antarctic experts. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed.
