Follow in the footsteps of one of the greatest explorers of all time, Sir Ernest Shackleton, as you journey deep into Antarctica by way of the wildlife-rich Falkland Islands/Malvinas and South Georgia. This voyage, Shackleton’s Final Quest is where you’ll explore the fascinating history of the area, dating back to the grandiose times of the ‘Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration’ of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Encounter jaw-dropping scenes in nature, colossal icebergs, and incredible wildlife.
Seaventure features a 1-A Super ice class rating — the highest ice class awarded to passenger vessels. The ship offers all outside-facing staterooms (some with balconies) and beautifully appointed dining areas, as well as al fresco dining on the Lido deck when weather permits. Seaventure also offers a heated saltwater pool on the top deck, a sauna and fitness center, and a dedicated Citizen Science lab.
This expedition is with Polar Latitudes, an Antarctica Specialist that focuses 100% of their voyages on the Antarctica region. The expedition company ensures the main attraction on every journey is creating an up-close and personal connection with one of the last truly wild places on earth. And everything Polar Latitudes does, on board and off, is to enhance that experience. All expeditions are on 4* ships, either the MS Seaventure or the MS Island Sky.
