• International Expeditions has created a unique itinerary that includes some less-explored areas including the Weddell Sea. There will be Zodiac landings, skilled naturalists, daily lectures and a focus on Antarctica’s environment.
• You’ll see Antarctic wildlife in its full glory: penguins (with a chance of encountering emperor penguins), whales, elephant seals and a host of other creatures. Weather permitting, we’ll make frequent landings using Zodiac landing craft, and have a chance to explore on foot.
• A full expedition staff with a wide range of specialties will accompany you, give talks aboard ship, and ensure that you get the most out of your expedition. Our Co-expedition Leader will be long-time IE favorite Greg Greer.
• An appropriately sized ship (a maximum of just 96 guests) means you have more time and greater freedom at each landing to hike, photograph the ice or simply sit amid the penguins at a rookery.

Welcome to the sights and sounds of Antarctica - the great, white continent. To see and hear first hand what you can experience on this unique voyage from Expedition Leader Greg Greer, click on the picture below.
Antarctica - Voyage to the "White Continent"
Our journey to Antarctica is unusual in many respects. By traveling in the less-visited regions of the Weddell Sea, we’ll be exploring some of the most remarkable regions of Antarctica, known for the massive icebergs which come in myriad shapes, including some impressive tabular ones.
Against this glittering backdrop, see some of Antarctica’s finest wildlife. The headliners are penguins: Adelies, chinstraps and gentoos. And we even have a chance of seeing emperor penguins, made famous by the movie March of the Penguins.
We’ll be traveling aboard the 96-guest Polar Star, among the world’s very best ice-class vessels. She is rated Ice Class 1A Super, the top rating. Equipped with state-of-the-art systems, a fleet of Zodiac expedition craft and carrying an outstanding expedition staff versed in Antarctica’s natural and human history, the Polar Star is large enough for great comfort and small enough to enter out-of-the-way places that others can only sail by. She is stabilized, meaning your ride will be as comfortable as possible.
An outstanding team of expedition staff members will accompany you and help you put the many things you see into context. We've arranged for an "all-star" team, with a variety of disciplines, ensuring an enriching and educational voyage.
This unique program is a wonderful opportunity to explore areas of Antarctica that are often inaccessible. We hope you'll join us.
