This Peregrine journey takes us to one of the world’s most awe inspiring destinations. With visits along the way through the South Shetland Islands we arrive on the mainland, on the Antarctic Peninsula and are dazzled by perhaps the most dramatic scenery to be found
anywhere on earth.

From our boats we’ll observe an impressive array of icebergs in many different shapes and sizes

Sailing aboard our well-appointed Peregrine expedition vessel, we see Antarctic nature in all its glory. These areas boast an extraordinary abundance of wildlife, including five seal species and massive penguin rookeries of gentoo, Adelies and chinstraps as well as a profusion of seabirds from albatross to skuas. A wildlife highlight may well be watching a variety of magnificent whale species in close proximity as they crest the surface of the waves.

On this exciting expedition, we have the opportunity to thoroughly explore the South Shetland region and Antarctic Peninsula searching out breathtaking bays and islands, and marvelling at extraordinary natural wonders. We’ll also hope to travel further into the polar regions than on any other Peregrine expedition, journeying as far as the Antarctic Circle at 66* 33’ south.

This voyage is Peregrine’s most complete and varied Antarctic adventure. It promises an in-depth and unforgettable experience to the bottom of the world travelling to the extraordinary Falkland Islands and diverse sub-Antarctic islands before sailing further south to the remarkable Antarctic Peninsula area.

The Rockhopper penguins are small, aggressive, crested penguins (genus Eudyptes), so named because of the way they hop from boulder to boulder when moving around their rocky colonies

Our first stop is the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. This far-flung group of islands lies north of the Antarctic Convergence and enjoys a relatively warmer climate than our other destinations. As a result, the mainly uninhabited Falklands support unique wildlife not found further south, including sixty species of migratory birds as well as the rare rockhopper penguin.

High above the Arctic Circle lies the remarkable archipelago of islands known as Svalbard. Far to the north of Norway’s mainland, these Norwegian islands span an area of about 62,000 square kilometres, about the same size as Ireland or Tasmania.

Astounding views abound in Svalbard

Our voyage aboard the comfortable Peregrine Voyager begins at the largest of all the Svalbard islands. Known as Spitsbergen, the west side of the island feels the comparative warmth of the North Atlantic current and spends half of the year, including the time of our visit, clear of ice. The fjords along the west and north coasts are often teeming with extraordinary wildlife from the walrus to the great polar bear, and promise dazzling Arctic scenery.

The High Arctic Explorer is truly a voyage of adventure and discovery. We will sail out and have some fun investigating the area that challenged the famous explorers of the past. This beautiful but extreme environment is still remote and wild, and to get the best out of it, we will relax and ‘go with the floe’. Travel in this region relies on understanding sea ice, and as many explorers before us have found, is truly a ‘moveable feast’.

Polar bear crossing ice floes

We will be visiting an area that overflows with history, and is also renowned for its rare and spectacular wildlife, including polar bear, narwhal and walrus.

This is our third year offering a voyage through the Northwest Passage. Our first attempt was a successful transit and occurred during the centenary of the first successful voyage through the Northwest Passage, paying tribute to the world’s most successful polar explorer, Roald Amundsen. Navigating a course through the Arctic that few people have achieved, this year’s expedition promises to be an exciting journey of discovery.
