Antarctica

Weddell Sea Explorer

12 nights / 13 days

Sailing in comfort aboard the comfortable and well-appointed M/V Marina Svetaeva, we begin this 12-night expedition at the tip of South America in Ushuaia, Argentina.

We chart a course through the Drake Passage on our way to the Weddell Sea, that ice-choked sea made famous by the saga of Sir Ernest Shackleton and his men from the Endurance expedition.

Images of massive tabular icebergs, ice-choked waters and human hardship come to mind when contemplating the Weddell Sea, all sights that we hope to see and experience over the course of our 13 days onboard the expedition cruise vessel.
