About This Tour

About This Tour


Cities Visited:
Ushuaia, Drake Passage, Snow Hill

Multiple visits over a number of days to the Snow Hill Island rookery offer unique photo opportunities. Digital photography workshops help you take outstanding photographs while among the penguins. Scenic hikes cross sea ice dotted with icebergs frozen in place are akin to walking through a sculpture garden. Onboard helicopters are used for transfers and sightseeing. A polar-class icebreaker and more than 15 years of expedition operations make this voyage possible.
Icebreaker: Ultimate Antarctica
Rate range: $9,995 to $19,900
