Day 5

South Shetland Islands

Memorable landing in the South Shetland Islands by using Zodiac cruising
We will arrive in the South Shetland Islands. The South Shetland Islands, a rugged and windswept archipelago located north of the Antarctica continent, serve as a gateway to the pristine wilderness of Antarctica. Upon arrival in the South Shetland Islands, you will get a chance to set foot in Antarctica by using Zodiac cruising. "Zodiacs" typically refer to small inflatable boats used for excursions from larger expedition ships. Zodiac landings allow guests to set foot on land and experience penguin rookeries, research stations, and historical sites, and aim to Zodiac cruise in scenic areas filled with giant icebergs, whales, and seals. It is a thrilling way to experience the breathtaking scenery and wildlife of Antarctica up close. You can also get in and out of a Zodiac. 🐧There are many Islands in the South Shetland Islands like Livingstone Island, Greenwich Island, Deception Island, Aitcho Island, and Halfmoon Island, and the anchorage of Yankee harbour, and we will be able to land a few of them. Please note that the captain’s decision is very important to land at each island and he will decide after evaluating that day's weather, time, and passengers’ safety and we have no control over it.
Deception Island
We will reach Deception Island and Half Moon Island...etc subject to the time. Deception Island is a volcanic caldera famed for its horseshoe shape and steaming black sand beaches. Half Moon Island lying 1.35 km north of Livingston Island in the Antarctic Peninsula region is a small but captivating destination renowned for its scenic beauty and abundant wildlife. Deception Island, located in the South Shetland Islands archipelago of Antarctica, is renowned for its dramatic volcanic crater and unique geological features. Formed by a volcanic caldera that collapsed and flooded with seawater, the island's horseshoe shape creates a natural harbour known as Port Foster. This harbour has served as a haven for explorers and whalers throughout history, drawn by its sheltered waters amidst the harsh Antarctic environment. Deception Island's stark beauty and geological diversity make it a compelling destination for those interested in both natural history and the remarkable adaptations of life in Antarctica's extreme conditions.
Polar Plunge Experience
The Polar Plunge in Antarctica is one of the most exhilarating (and chilly) experiences you can have! It's a daring and unforgettable activity where you take a quick dip into the icy Antarctic waters. For many, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to push their limits and embrace the ultimate challenge of submerging yourself in one of the coldest environments on Earth. During a Polar Plunge, participants typically jump from a boat or land on an icy beach or shore, with the water temperature hovering around freezing—usually between -3°C and 0°C. It's an incredibly cold and shockingly refreshing experience, but it’s all about the thrill of doing something unique in one of the most remote places on the planet. Cruise ships to Antarctica offer the Polar Plunge as an activity for passengers as part of the Antarctica Expedition, especially in places like Deception Island or the Antarctic Peninsula. The cruise will provide hot drinks and blankets for you afterward to warm up quickly! It's one of those experiences that is both daring and deeply memorable. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on board.

Day 6

Enter Antarctic Ocean

Enter Antarctic Oceans.
After crossing the Drake Passage, we will enter the waters around the Antarctic Ocean. The sea in this region is part of the Southern Ocean. It is the fourth-largest ocean by area, covering approximately 20.3 million square kilometers. Here you will get an experience meeting of waters -an oceanographic boundary where colder Antarctic waters meet warmer Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. We will cross into the Antarctic Convergence on the third day of our voyage - watch the mercury plummet as we sail southwards into Antarctic waters, an abrupt cooling that marks the intersection of Antarctic waters with the warmer waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. As the sea cools, wildlife multiplies; these are some of the most biologically productive waters on Earth, so expect to see petrels, albatrosses, and potentially penguins, seals, and whales in abundance. The ocean plays a crucial role in Earth's climate system. Its powerful currents act as a global conveyor belt, redistributing heat and nutrients throughout the world's oceans. Moreover, its cold waters serve as a significant carbon sink, absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and mitigating the impacts of human-induced climate change. Free time to explore all the entertainments and facilities in Ocean Victory - Albatros expedition cruise. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on board.
Great opportunity to see Humpback Whales and Emperor Penguins.
We will proceed to the Antarctic Peninsula, the mainland of the Antarctic Continent. This region is typically icy, so our exact route will be subject to careful planning by the Expedition Leader and Captain - however, we will aim to visit a range of sites that showcase the best of this staggeringly beautiful region. The Antarctic offers excellent opportunities to see whales, Emperor penguins, and seals in their natural habitat. Several species of whales frequent the nutrient-rich waters around the peninsula during the Antarctic summer. Whale sightings during an Antarctic tour can be unpredictable due to the vastness of the Southern Ocean and the natural behaviors of these animals. However, expedition cruise ships typically have experienced naturalists and crew who are skilled at locating and identifying whales. November is the start of the breeding season for all types of penguins and you can witness courtship displays, nest-building, and the laying of eggs. Seal species like Weddell seals and crabeater seals are also active, with many giving birth to pups during this time. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner on board.

Day 7

Antarctic Peninsula Tour Begins

We will reach Antarctic Sound, which is often called the "Entrance to the Antarctic," and it’s a deeply mesmerizing place. It's located at the northeastern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula and is known for its dramatic icebergs, breathtaking scenery, and rich wildlife. The sound is where many expeditions to Antarctica begin, and it feels like the gateway to an untouched, almost otherworldly landscape. The sounds you would experience there—like the cracking of ice, the calling of seabirds, and the occasional splash of a whale—only add to the sense of isolation and wonder. The silence between those sounds is profound, with the wind and water creating a peaceful yet eerie atmosphere.
Paradise Bay
Later we visit Paradise Bay, a stunning haven on the Antarctic Peninsula, enchants with its serene waters reflecting towering glaciers and snow-capped cliffs. Known as Paradise Harbor, this sheltered cove dazzles with drifting icebergs, playful gentoo penguins, and seals lounging on floes, all framed by the majestic Mount Hooghly. The crisp air and golden sunlight create an ethereal glow, while the stillness—punctuated by calving ice—offers a peaceful retreat, making it a breathtaking highlight of any Antarctic journey.
Greenwich Islands
We may get a chance to arrive at Greenwich widely known as the “Gateway to the Antarctic.” The Greenwich Islands are a group of small islands located off the coast of Antarctica. They lie in the South Shetland Islands archipelago, which is situated north of the Antarctic Ocean. The South Shetland Islands are known for their rugged terrain, ice-covered landscapes, and rich wildlife, including seals, penguins, and various seabirds. Greenwich Island is also one of the larger islands in this group and is notable for its scientific research stations, primarily operated by various countries participating in Antarctic research. King George and Greenwich Island are home to many different species including Weddell, leopard, and elephant seals, Gentoo, chinstrap, and Adelie penguins, and many seabirds and southern giant petrels🐧.
Opportunity for open-air camping, and sleeping in tents.
Here you will get an excellent optional opportunity for snowshoeing, open-air camping, and sleeping in tents, Kayaking activities in Antarctica. Sleeping in your warm bivy bag, open-air camping, and sleeping in tents makes you feel like a true Antarctic explorer. It makes you experience and sense Antarctica the optimal way, and wake up with one of the most incredible views you have ever seen. We don’t believe staying in a closed, tight tent would give you anything close to this incredible experience. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner onboard. Please note that the captain’s decision is very important to land on each island, and he will decide where to land after evaluating that day's weather, time, and passengers’ safety. We have no control over it.

Day 8

Antarctic Peninsula

On the way we cross the Lemaire Channel is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences in all of Antarctica. (subject to the decision of the captain) This narrow, icy passage is surrounded by towering cliffs and glaciers, creating a dramatic, almost otherworldly landscape. As the ship slowly navigates through the channel, you’re treated to an up-close view of some of the most stunning and untouched scenery on the planet. The Lemaire Channel runs between the Antarctic Peninsula and Booth Island and is about 11 miles long and only a couple of miles wide at its narrowest point. The towering mountains that rise steeply on either side of the channel, often covered in snow and ice, create a sense of isolation and quiet majesty. The waters of the channel are typically calm, making it feel even more peaceful as you glide through the icy passage, sometimes accompanied by icebergs floating by.
Explore Neko Harbour
As we venture deeper into Antarctica, our expedition takes you to Neko Harbour, a breathtaking inlet nestled along the Antarctic Peninsula’s western coast in Andvord Bay. Named after the Norwegian whaling ship Neko, which operated in the region during the early 20th century, this sheltered cove holds a rich history tied to the whaling era, when ships sought refuge here amidst the icy wilderness. Today, Neko Harbour is renowned for its dramatic scenery—towering glaciers cascade down from the surrounding mountains, calving into the sea with thunderous cracks, while gentoo penguins waddle across the pebbled shore, their colonies thriving in this pristine habitat. Our Zodiac excursion brings us close to the action, offering a front-row seat to the interplay of ice and ocean, with the chance to witness humpback whales feeding in the nutrient-rich waters nearby, their tails flukes slicing through the surface as they dive. Just a short distance away lies Pléneau Island, dubbed the “iceberg graveyard,” where stranded icebergs, sculpted by wind and waves into fantastical shapes, create a mesmerizing labyrinth of frozen giants. Back aboard, we savor the day’s adventures over hearty meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner—prepared to fuel our exploration, each dish a warm respite against the chill of the polar landscape. Neko Harbour’s blend of natural splendor and historical echoes makes it a highlight of our Antarctic journey, a place where the past and present converge amidst the ice. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner onboard. (Please note that the captain’s decision is very important to land at each island and he will decide where to land after evaluating that day's weather, time, and passengers’ safety and we have no control over it).

Day 9

Arctic Circle Crossing

Heading Towards Arctic Circle
We continue our exploration heading further south towards the Antarctic Circle. This is a rare and remarkable journey beyond 66°33′S latitude, a feat that few travellers achieve. The Ocean Victory’s Polar Code 6/1A ice rating allows us to navigate through dense pack ice as we push toward this elusive boundary. The Antarctic Circle represents the threshold of the polar realm, a gateway to Earth’s most extreme environment. Its history is tied to the heroic age of exploration—figures like James Cook ventured near it in the 1770s. However, it wasn’t until 1820 that the Russian expedition led by Fabian Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev officially crossed into Antarctic waters, paving the way for future discoveries. Today, crossing this latitude is both a symbolic triumph and a testament to human curiosity about the planet’s frozen frontiers. The Antarctic Circle is more than a geographic marker; it’s a testament to the allure and mystery of the Last Continent. This crossing and exploration mark the pinnacle of your Antarctic journey, weaving together the historical echoes of past explorers with the breathtaking solitude and pristine beauty of these remote, ice-bound frontiers.
We will celebrate this achievement with a special onboard event—perhaps a toast on deck with the icy expanse stretching before us—honoring the legacy of those who charted these waters and the unique natural wonders of the region, from its endless ice to the vibrant ecosystems thriving in its shadow. This invisible line, marking the southern boundary where the sun dips below the horizon for a full 24 hours during the winter solstice and remains above it during the summer solstice, holds profound scientific and historical significance. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner on board.

Day 10
