Antarctic Marine Mammals: The World of Whales and Seals

Antarctica by Helicopter: Crossing the Circle and the Peninsula Crossing the Antarctic Circle at 66°30' is a polar milestone achieved by few travelers. Our 14-day Antarctica by Helicopter: Crossing the Circle and the Peninsula enables you to fulfill that dream on a unique voyage that maximizes multiple helicopter opportunities— included in the cost of the trip. You’ll soar above the ice-covered 7th Continent and learn what it’s like to step out of a helicopter onto Antarctica and gaze upon polar landscapes previously only seen by a few fearless explorers and mountaineers.

Our 11-day Antarctic Marine Mammals: The World of Whales and Seals itinerary offers guests the rare chance to actively engage in citizen science—while exploring the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. Co-developed by Ari Friedlaender, founder of the renowned Friedlaender Lab, this hands-on itinerary is designed to maximize observations of migratory whales, such as minke, humpback, and fin. A research associate from Happywhale will guide guests in identifying individual whales for global conservation projects. At the onboard Science Hub, guests connect with experts, participate in meaningful research, and help protect this pristine polar habitat for whales, seals, and all marine life.
