It's mating season for the penguins and other birds with whole colonies in spectacular displays of courtship rituals. You're also likely to witness nest building and egg tending. Adélie, Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins and other seabirds return to their breeding sites.<\/p><p>Elephant seals and fur seals are mating, and King Penguins are laying their eggs on South Georgia. Parents can be seen "carrying" eggs on their feet so that one parent can shuffle around the colony while the other adult goes out to sea to feed. Antarctica is never crowded, but in the early season there are far fewer ships and the vastness and purity of the region is even more pronounced. Spring wildflowers are also blooming on the Falklands and South Georgia Islands.<\/p><p><strong>Mid December - January (full summer)<\/strong><br \/>These are usually Antarctica's warmest months-the height of the Austral Summer when the sun is up 18 to 20 hours a day. Longer days create great light conditions for fabulous photo opportunities. Wildlife in full swing as temperatures warm and activity levels rise. Penguin chicks are hatching, and you'll likely see them chasing after any adult penguin that is carrying food. Whale sightings of baleen and toothed whales along the Antarctic Peninsula increase and seal pups can be sighted on the beaches. Some 30 days after hatching, penguin chicks can be found in "crèches," resembling a nursery of sorts, which leaves both of their tired and hungry parents free to rest and hunt for food.<\/p><p><strong>February - March (late summer)<\/strong><br \/>Whale sightings are at their peak. Fur seals are increasingly common along the Peninsula and offshore islands; young fur seals are also quite playful in South Georgia. Penguin colonies are very active as the penguin chicks begin to fledge, losing their fuzzy down and developing their adult plumage. By now, Falklands' chicks are leaving the nest - parents have abandoned any remaining chicks, and have gone out to sea to feed and fatten up for their own molting stage.<\/p>","Custom_FAQ_-_Header_2":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Text_2":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Header_3":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Text_3":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Header_4":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Text_4":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Header_5":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Text_5":"","Custom_When_to_Go":"","Custom_Children":"","Custom_Tag_Line":"Penguin Colonies, Icebergs, and Legends of Shackleton","Custom_Lodging":"19 nights aboard an expedition ship, 1 or 2 nights hotel","Custom_Meals":"All meals included","Custom_Activity":"","Custom_Difficulty":"Expedition cruise, nature walks (some on uneven ground), sea kayaking options, Zodiac excursions with wet landings, cold weather, possibility of rough seas","Custom_Currency_Exchange_Rate":"","Custom_Fuel_Surcharge":"","Custom_Signing_Up_For_a_Trip_-_Email":"","Custom_Optional_Hotel_Upgrades_-_This_Year":"","Custom_Optional_Hotel_Upgrades_-_Next_Year":"","Custom_What_the_Trip_is_Like":"<!-- Generated by XStandard version 3.0.0.0 on 2023-06-13T13:54:24 --><p>The trip is rated <strong>Level 1+, Easy<\/strong>, according to our trip grading system.

After an overnight in Ushuaia, voyage to the Falklands, home to breeding pairs of gentoo penguins, Magellanic penguins in their burrows, and rockhopper penguins. You'll also visit Port Stanley, the quaint British capital. On Days 6 and 7 at sea, watch for whales and albatrosses as you cross the Antarctic Convergence.
Rearing 10,000 feet out of the sea, South Georgia is one of the most spectacular islands in the world—it's the “showstopper” that sets this cruise apart! You'll encounter a phenomenal concentration of subantarctic wildlife, with landings that include Salisbury Plain, an immense rookery of over 100,000 king penguins, and visit Grytviken, where fabled explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton is buried.
Cross to the wildlife-rich Antarctic Peninsula, where visits may include Paulet Island, with its stunning tabular icebergs, Deception Island, a sea-filled volcanic crater, and Lemaire Channel, a great place to spot whales. You'll walk amid teeming penguin colonies, explore by Zodiac, perhaps visit a research station, and take a dip in the hot springs at Deception Island. Return to Ushuaia via the famed Drake Passage and depart on Day 21.

Sea Spirit
Days 1-21 (21 nights)
One of the most spacious and luxurious expedition vessels in operation, the Sea Spirit carries a maximum of 98 guests in all outside-facing suites with private bath facilities, two twin beds that can be reconfigured into one queen, sitting area with sofa bed, picture window or portholes, walk-in closet or wardrobe, personal safe, and small refrigerator. All cabins have TV/VCR and individually controlled thermostats. This outstanding expedition vessel offers two large lounges, fine dining, a hot tub, library, gym, and elevator access to all passenger levels. A fleet of sturdy inflatable landing crafts is used for shore excursions.
One of the most advanced expedition ships in the world, the 132-passenger Greg Mortimer (named after the well-known Australian mountaineer and explorer) was built to world-class polar standards with the most up-to-date safety and nautical technology. Her unique, inverted bow allows for more gentle sea crossings, improved comfort, and reduced emissions. The ship has an impressive list of environmentally friendly features—her Tier 3 engine gives off 80% less emissions than Tier 1 engines, she has a high fuel efficiency, reduced light pollution, lower plastic use, and state-of-the-art anchoring technology that allows the ship to hold its position without disturbing the sea floor. All cabins have private bathrooms, ample storage, ocean-view windows, individually controlled air-conditioning and heating, and most have private balconies. There are also interconnecting stateroom options for families and groups. Onboard observation points are a key feature for optimal wildlife viewing. These include a 180-degree indoor lounge, a 360-degree outdoor open viewing deck, a sun deck, and two hydraulic viewing platforms on Deck 5. Meals are served in the dining room that can accommodate all guests at one seating, and coffee, tea, and snacks are available around the clock. Guests can enjoy presentations in the lecture room, two bar/lounges with floor-to-ceiling windows, a library, and wellness center with fitness equipment, sauna, and spa. The ship carries a fleet of 15 Zodiacs, kayaks, and diving and climbing equipment.
You'll voyage aboard the MS Seaventure, an ice-strengthened expedition ship with all outward-facing staterooms, a library, fitness center, sauna, small clinic, two elevators, and a dining room with picture windows. There will be no more than 130 guests on our voyage, creating a more personal experience on board, including the opportunity to spend time with our guests and the expedition team, and allowing more time for shore and zodiac excursions, as everyone can be off the ship simultaneously. Her small size allows the vessel to maneuver and anchor close to shore, where larger ships cannot go. All Seaventure cabins include a comfortable sleeping/living area with small sofa or chair, shower, hairdryer, bathrobe and slippers, spacious wardrobe, flat-screen television, and DVD player. A warm parka and boots are available for each guest for the duration of the trip, and a fleet of Zodiacs is available for forays into the realm of the icebergs.
The recently launched Sylvia Earle is a floating ambassador for the conservation of the planet. Paying tribute to Dr. Sylvia Earle and six pioneering conservationists, she is certified 100% Climate Neutral, with a fully equipped Citizen Science Center, expert lecturers, and participative citizen science programs that enrich your knowledge and connection to the places we travel to. With an average of 130-140 expeditioners, the aim is to get you off ship experiencing the natural environment as much as possible, and our smaller groups also mean we can tread lightly, making a positive impact on the environment. Amenities onboard include a state-of-the-art lecture theater, science center and lounge, dining room, bars and lounges, library, sun deck with two Jacuzzis (and amazing views of the passing scenery), sauna, spa, and gym, and the cabins and suites are well appointed and comfortable.
The trip is rated Level 1+, Easy, according to our trip grading system. You need to be able to walk on uneven surfaces and feel comfortable on your feet for multiple hours a day. You must be able to complete on board safety drills and emergency evacuation procedures without the assistance of others.
Rolling seas and windy conditions require you to be stable on your feet, especially when walking on slippery decks or up and down steep gangways. Some agility is required for getting in and out of the Zodiac landing crafts. While a couple of Zodiac landings are dry, most will require that you step into calf-high water on rocky or sandy beaches to get ashore. your walks onshore will be over sandy or coarse gravel beaches or snow and often require hiking over uneven terrain without the benefit of a developed trail.
The Antarctic summer begins in November and ends in March—no tourist ships visit in the winter. December through February are the best times to visit as they bring long daylight hours and milder temperatures. You'll experience a variety of weather conditions including rain, snow, sleet, and sunny skies no matter when you visit. Temperatures can change quickly and range from the high 30s to below freezing, sometimes with a significant wind chill.
One of the most important parts of any expedition is the food! Whatever adventures the day holds, you will be fueled with hearty meals and delicious morning/afternoon teas cooked by our onboard chefs.
All meals will be taken on board. All ships we offer have the capacity to seat everyone at a single, open seating in the main dining room. In some cases outdoor buffet breakfast and lunch options are also available. Most dietary requests can be accommodated such as low salt, gluten-free, and low cholesterol, and vegetarian, meat, and fish options are available on all of the menus.
Meals are a great time to soak up the expedition camaraderie in our open seating dining area. Share stories with your fellow travelers and ask our expedition team questions that may have come up during the day.
Having the right clothing and gear is vital to the enjoyment of your trip to Antarctica, layered breathable clothing is best with a fully waterproof jacket and waterproof over-pants (required). Note that ponchos are NOT recommended as wind makes them less useful. A polar jacket is included on most voyages; waterproof boots are available to borrow on all cruises.
Visit wildernesstravel.newheadings.com to begin shopping. Be sure to check out our Get Ready Packages, which features 3 Polar Packages that provide excellent value for the gear necessary to keep you warm and dry. Polar gear is available to rent or buy and it may be possible that rental gear can be delivered to your hotel in South America prior to your cruise.
Antarctica is an extremely remote and isolated region of the world. In the case of serious illness or injury, medical attention and swift evacuation are not always available. Once you sail from Ushuaia, you are far away from towns and medical facilities. In the case of serious illness or injury, the cruise ship will make every effort to reach medical facilities as soon as possible, but be aware that it may take several days to get you to a hospital. If you have health or medical issues of concern, please discuss them with your physician before considering this trip.
Due to the remoteness, emergency evacuation insurance is required for all voyages to Antarctica.

FAQs
October, November, Early December (late spring - early summer) The pack ice begins to break up, creating new landscapes of sculpted ice and pristine icebergs with plenty of fresh snow. It's mating season for the penguins and other birds with whole colonies in spectacular displays of courtship rituals. You're also likely to witness nest building and egg tending. Adélie, Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins and other seabirds return to their breeding sites.
Elephant seals and fur seals are mating, and King Penguins are laying their eggs on South Georgia. Parents can be seen "carrying" eggs on their feet so that one parent can shuffle around the colony while the other adult goes out to sea to feed. Antarctica is never crowded, but in the early season there are far fewer ships and the vastness and purity of the region is even more pronounced. Spring wildflowers are also blooming on the Falklands and South Georgia Islands.
Mid December - January (full summer) These are usually Antarctica's warmest months-the height of the Austral Summer when the sun is up 18 to 20 hours a day. Longer days create great light conditions for fabulous photo opportunities. Wildlife in full swing as temperatures warm and activity levels rise. Penguin chicks are hatching, and you'll likely see them chasing after any adult penguin that is carrying food. Whale sightings of baleen and toothed whales along the Antarctic Peninsula increase and seal pups can be sighted on the beaches. Some 30 days after hatching, penguin chicks can be found in "crèches," resembling a nursery of sorts, which leaves both of their tired and hungry parents free to rest and hunt for food.
February - March (late summer) Whale sightings are at their peak. Fur seals are increasingly common along the Peninsula and offshore islands; young fur seals are also quite playful in South Georgia. Penguin colonies are very active as the penguin chicks begin to fledge, losing their fuzzy down and developing their adult plumage. By now, Falklands' chicks are leaving the nest - parents have abandoned any remaining chicks, and have gone out to sea to feed and fatten up for their own molting stage.
Our Area Specialists know every detail about our tours. They will be happy to answer any questions and help you choose the journey that’s right for you. Contact us to learn more or book your trip today!
With more than 200 different adventures to choose from, we want to help you find the trip that’s right for you. Our Trip Level system ranks each trip in two ways: a number rating from 1 to 6 according to the activity, and general travel rigors. 1 is the easiest and 6+ the most difficult—see descriptions below for explanations of each number. A plus (+) sign means the trip is a bit more strenuous than other trips of that level. The detailed explanation of each trip—below the bar with the number rating—is perhaps more important, specifying activities, altitudes, hiking, and travel conditions. The Detailed Itinerary, available by download or mail, gives further information. Our Area Managers can also answer questions and guide you to the trip that best suits your interests.
Level 1 – Easiest
Non-camping journeys, optional walks, little elevation gain or loss.
Hotel nights and/or safari-style camping, hikes of two to four hours on some days. Other physical activities are sometimes included, such as optional sea kayaking.
Half- to full-day hikes (3-6 hours) over rolling countryside on most days, occasional steep trails. Many of our hotel-based walking tours are in this category, as are our snorkeling adventures.
Some trips with minimal hiking but rugged travel conditions or long drives, such as Tribal Ghana, Togo & Benin, are Trip Level 3.
Level 4 – Moderate to Strenuous
Full-day hikes (4-6 hours), mountainous terrain, significant elevation gains and losses (hiking up or down as much as 3,000 feet) on many days. Altitudes no greater than about 10,000 feet.
Full-day hikes (4-8 hours), mountainous, steep terrain (hiking up or down as much as 3,500 feet) on many days. Trips with hiking at average altitudes of 10,000 to 12,000 feet are in this category.
Full-day hikes (5-8 hours), mountainous, steep terrain (hiking up or down as much as 3,500 feet) on many days. Most hikes take place at altitudes above 10,000 feet, with some days ascending as high as 18,000 feet.

It's mating season for the penguins and other birds with whole colonies in spectacular displays of courtship rituals. You're also likely to witness nest building and egg tending. Adélie, Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins and other seabirds return to their breeding sites.<\/p><p>Elephant seals and fur seals are mating, and King Penguins are laying their eggs on South Georgia. Parents can be seen "carrying" eggs on their feet so that one parent can shuffle around the colony while the other adult goes out to sea to feed. Antarctica is never crowded, but in the early season there are far fewer ships and the vastness and purity of the region is even more pronounced. Spring wildflowers are also blooming on the Falklands and South Georgia Islands.<\/p><p><strong>Mid December - January (full summer)<\/strong><br \/>These are usually Antarctica's warmest months-the height of the Austral Summer when the sun is up 18 to 20 hours a day. Longer days create great light conditions for fabulous photo opportunities. Wildlife in full swing as temperatures warm and activity levels rise. Penguin chicks are hatching, and you'll likely see them chasing after any adult penguin that is carrying food. Whale sightings of baleen and toothed whales along the Antarctic Peninsula increase and seal pups can be sighted on the beaches. Some 30 days after hatching, penguin chicks can be found in "crèches," resembling a nursery of sorts, which leaves both of their tired and hungry parents free to rest and hunt for food.<\/p><p><strong>February - March (late summer)<\/strong><br \/>Whale sightings are at their peak. Fur seals are increasingly common along the Peninsula and offshore islands; young fur seals are also quite playful in South Georgia. Penguin colonies are very active as the penguin chicks begin to fledge, losing their fuzzy down and developing their adult plumage. By now, Falklands' chicks are leaving the nest - parents have abandoned any remaining chicks, and have gone out to sea to feed and fatten up for their own molting stage.<\/p>","Custom_FAQ_-_Header_2":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Text_2":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Header_3":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Text_3":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Header_4":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Text_4":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Header_5":"","Custom_FAQ_-_Text_5":"","Custom_When_to_Go":"","Custom_Children":"","Custom_Tag_Line":"Penguin Colonies, Icebergs, and Legends of Shackleton","Custom_Lodging":"19 nights aboard an expedition ship, 1 or 2 nights hotel","Custom_Meals":"All meals included","Custom_Activity":"","Custom_Difficulty":"Expedition cruise, nature walks (some on uneven ground), sea kayaking options, Zodiac excursions with wet landings, cold weather, possibility of rough seas","Custom_Currency_Exchange_Rate":"","Custom_Fuel_Surcharge":"","Custom_Signing_Up_For_a_Trip_-_Email":"","Custom_Optional_Hotel_Upgrades_-_This_Year":"","Custom_Optional_Hotel_Upgrades_-_Next_Year":"","Custom_What_the_Trip_is_Like":"<!-- Generated by XStandard version 3.0.0.0 on 2023-06-13T13:54:24 --><p>The trip is rated <strong>Level 1+, Easy<\/strong>, according to our trip grading system.
