Late Summer & Early Spring Antarctic cruises

November is an exciting time of year to be in Antarctica as it marks the start of summer when everything seems to wake up from the long, dark winter. Penguin rookeries are a hive of activity, while elephant seals are busy battling it out on South Georgia Island. Come March, as winter draws closer, you can expect the closest encounters with whales. Watch waddling groups of penguin adolescents and experience an increase in predator activity.
