Drake Passage, Antarctica
  • Drake Passage, Antarctica
A Polar Rite of Passage: Crossing the legendary 800-kilometer stretch of water is a must-do for many travelers. Prepare yourself for dramatic seascapes as you stand on the deck of Ultramarine and gaze at the water stretching beyond the distant horizon. Be on the lookout for dolphins, whales, and seabirds, especially albatrosses, petrels, and skuas as they glide over the sometimes rough waters. As the ship approaches the Antarctic Peninsula, keep your eyes peeled for your first glimpse of towering, multi-shaped icebergs. ...

Today, we cross the Antarctic Convergence, moving into the biological Antarctic, where the warmer waters of the subantarctic zone meet the cold Antarctic. Your days at sea are filled with presentations led by your Expedition Team on photography, wildlife, glaciology, and history. In between presentations, spend time on deck looking for wildlife or chatting with your shipmates over a drink at the bar. ...

  • Antarctica
The most common reaction upon reaching the Antarctic Peninsula is a sense of reverence and awe. The experience is beyond words, since few places are as untouched and enduring as Antarctica. You will begin to appreciate why this region has long captivated the attention of explorers and travelers alike. Every visit to Antarctica, we witness something new or unexpected, which means that your expedition will be unlike any other-creating a unique, personal experience. Each day, you will take Zodiac excursions from the ship to explore local bays, channels, and landing sites. You will visit penguin rookeries, scout for humpback and minke whales, and hopefully spot a number of southern seal species, including the elusive leopard seal. Your Expedition Team will take care of you at each landing, whether you are exploring the Antarctic terrain, visiting a research station, or consorting with penguin colonies. Chinstrap, Adelie, and gentoo penguins are found here, along with five different species of seals. Zodiac cruising can offer opportunities to view some of the larger local marine mammals more intimately, such as Antarctic minke and humpback whales. Days 5 and 6 are also ideal times to experience Ultramarine's portfolio of helicopter-supported adventures exclusive to Quark Expeditions. Your days will be busy spotting wildlife and being mesmerized by the astounding beauty of Antarctica. Listening to the crackling and crumbling of icebergs and glaciers and watching penguins waddling on the beach will become your daily entertainment. That's in addition to the spectacular experience of soaring in a helicopter over the Antarctic landscape. ...

  • Marguerite Bay, Antarctica
Helicopter operations in Antarctic are acutely weather-dependent. We have designed this itinerary so we can spend time each day in stunning locations that allow us to enjoy helicopter opportunities if the weather allows and, alternately, to maximize your experience of Antarctic wildlife, ice and landscapes when flying conditions are not favorable. Each day near the Antarctic Circle will showcase the flexibility and technical prowess of our industry-leading expedition team, pilots and crew, who will look for opportunities to experience Antarctica well beyond its coasts. As Ultramarine gains access to the Antarctic Circle, you'll have accomplished an impressive achievement as most expeditions to the Peninsula do not come close to navigating this far south. Toasting the first explorers who ventured here over a century ago, you can raise a glass and take pride in the knowledge you've reached part of the world visited by a relative few. Next on our itinerary are Crystal Sound and Marguerite Bay, which comprise the geographical theater of focus on this incredible venture into the "deep south" of Antarctica. ...

  • Antarctica
By now, your knowledge of Adelie, chinstrap, and gentoo penguins will be matched by your ability to differentiate between a leopard, crabeater, and Weddell seal. Terms like 'bergy bits' and 'pancake ice' will become part of your vocabulary. As you head north, Zodiac excursions will occupy your days, and your Expedition Team will continue looking out for species of seabirds, seals, and whales that may have eluded us on this journey south. ...

As you recross the Drake Passage at the end of your expedition, rest assured you'll do so with a storehouse of memories to last a lifetime. You'll have experienced moments-soaring in a helicopter over remote parts of Antarctica being one of the most memorable-which few travelers can ever claim. Your Expedition Team will have a few remaining presentations for you-including the guest favorite, the end-of-voyage photo-and-video compilation showcasing the most unforgettable moments of your voyage. Remember to take advantage of Ultramarine's amenities, especially the Tundra Spa & Sauna, on the final days onboard. ...
