Antártida y Patagonia: Hielo Legendario y Fiordos Épicos
Lo más destacado
- Encounter Antarctica’s otherworldly ice world up close, with Zodiac cruises, kayaking and walks among penguins, seals, and drifting icebergs
- Sail Patagonia’s dramatic fjords, where glaciers thunder into the sea beneath Andean peaks and pristine forests
- Follow legendary exploration routes from the Drake Passage to the Strait of Magellan, rich with seabirds, whales and maritime history
As the name suggests, legendary ice and epic fjords await on this rare expedition uniting two of the planet’s most awe-inspiring frontiers in one seamless voyage. From the luminous ice-scapes of Antarctica to the fjord-laced wilderness of southern Patagonia, this journey traces a path through regions defined by raw geology, abundant wildlife, and centuries of exploration lore.
Timed for optimal polar conditions, the voyage benefits from extended daylight in Antarctica, heightening opportunities to observe penguins, seals and whales amid towering glaciers and sculpted pack ice. As your journey continues, the landscape softens into Patagonia’s maze of channels and fjords, where snowcapped peaks, temperate rainforests and calving glaciers create a dramatic contrast to the Antarctic ice world.
Days are spent balancing discovery on shore and at sea. Zodiac cruises, kayaking, and guided walks bring you face to face with penguin colonies, marine mammals and immense walls of ice, while onboard lectures by expert naturalists deepen your understanding of these delicate ecosystems and the regions’ rich exploration history. Scenic sailing through legendary waterways adds moments of quiet reflection, with wildlife often appearing right off the bow.
Emotionally, this expedition is designed to inspire wonder and a profound sense of perspective. Guests often describe a feeling of humility and exhilaration, knowing they have traveled through places few ever reach, following routes once reserved for explorers and adventurers. It is an experience that lingers long after the voyage ends.
