Snow Hill Island Cruises

Join this 14-day cruise expedition aboard Ultramarine and sailed past masses of dense ice and thick, tabular icebergs in the Weddell Sea to experience the legendary rookery, which now numbers 8,000 breeding pairs of emperor penguins.

Embark on a 12-day expedition cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula, the South Shetland Islands, and the Weddell Sea aboard the MV Ushuaia. The Weddell Sea is always remembered as the polar region that still echoes the ill-fated expedition of the great British polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton.

The 11-day Weddell Sea Emperor Penguin cruise aboard Ortelius permits an amazing rendezvous with the magnificent Emperor Penguins near Snow Hill Island. Explore the area via helicopter and see a variety of other birds and penguins including Adelies and gentoos. Visit Deception Island where even more penguins can be viewed.

Embark on a 28-day Antarctic expedition roundtrip Ushuaia aboard MV Ortelius. Explore the Weddell Sea with its clear waters and massive tabular icebergs formed by the continent's floating ice sheets. Walk in the footsteps of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton, visit South Georgia with its abundance of wildlife, and ultimately reach Elephant Island.
