Antarctica Cruise

February 9-20, 2007

OLIVIA VIDEOS

Join us as we head south — way south — to Antarctica. We're traveling during the austral summer, leaving us more daylight to experience the breathtaking grandeur of this otherworldly place.

Enjoy five days exploring the pristine wilderness of the Antarctic Peninsula, a narrow finger of land that separates the icy waters of the Weddell and Bellingshausen Seas. Scientists, historians, geologists and naturalists prime you for each expedition.

This majestic and mysterious wilderness harbors an extraordinary array of wildlife, like minke and orca whales, and a multitude of petrel, prion, albatross, gull, fulmar, skua, tern and penguin species as well as adorable Weddell, leopard and crabeater seals. We'll visit penguin rookeries where baby penguins test out their waddles.

Sailing aboard the luxurious all-suite, 114-guest Corinthian II — the newest and most elegant member of TDI's fleet — you'll admire an ever-changing landscape of icebergs and snowcapped mountains from the open observation deck. The ice-strengthened Corinthian II is able to maneuver easily through the ice fields, so we can venture deeper into Antarctica.
