Explorer II |
It is only in the past few decades that anyone but the most ardent explorer has set foot on the Great White Continent.
This glacial wilderness still looms in all its purity, and except for a few scientific stations, there is little human presence here. But life does, indeed, survive in Antarctica. In fact, it thrives. There are rookeries of penguins that number in the tens of thousands. Birds and seals are in glorious abundance, and the world’s largest concentration of marine wildlife feeds, breeds and survives. Each spring, under the ethereal glow of the Midnight Sun, a new generation takes its slippery hold on the ice.
It is this astonishing phenomenon that Explorer Cruises invites guests to witness next winter aboard Explorer II. With her ice-strengthened hull designed for cruising through these waters, Explorer II can carry up to 394 guests. But here in Antarctica, Explorer Cruises has chosen to limit her complement to a maximum of 199 guests. This is important as crowds reduce the number of Zodiac and shore excursions possible each day.
Choosing Explorer Cruises to explore this pristine land means you’ll be guaranteed the highest standards of comfort, safety and convenience, not to mention access onto the ice with some of the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable Antarctic experts in the field.
