Emblematic Antarctica

<p>If there is one place on the globe that fires the imagination of travellers and arouses in them an instant thirst for adventure, it is the immaculate and faraway lands of the White Continent. Inhabited by endemic fauna, Antarctica welcomes you for a unique odyssey on which mountainous landscapes open up to make way for huge calving glaciers. Drake Passage opens the way to majestic glaciers, tabular icebergs and ice floe. On these preserved shores, Gentoo, Adelie and chinstrap penguins share their kingdom with leopard, crabeater and Weddell seals. Guided by passionate naturalists, you will explore this fascinating universe by Zodiac or kayak. A unique experience, bathed in polar light.<p></p>We are privileged guests in these extreme lands where we are at the mercy of weather and ice conditions. Landings on certain sites and the observation of certain wildlife cannot be guaranteed. They vary from day to day, making each PONANT cruise a unique experience. The Captain and the Expedition Leader will make every effort to ensure that your experience is as rich as possible, while complying with the safety rules and instructions imposed by the IAATO.</p>
