Christmas Adventure in Antarctica 2019
Close encounters with Antarctic wildlife
Joining an expedition to Antarctica with MS Midantsol is sure to rank among the most exciting things you’ll ever do. Together, we will explore the most remote place on earth, on an adventure that takes you to the unparalleled highlights of Antarctica. Imagine waking up on Christmas day and pulling back the cabin curtains to reveal a pristine vista of mountains, penguins and ice!
A living continent of ice
The adventure starts as we sail the famous Drake Passage before arriving in remote Antarctica. The excitement builds as we draw close and encounter the astounding wildlife of the last untouched continent. You will see whales, meet thousands of penguins and encounter some seriously cute seals. And the icebergs constantly drift by in fantastic variety, in all shapes and colours. The horizon seems endless and blue-white, the oceans are teeming with life. Our small craft excursions will take you through the icebergs and each journey will serve as a reminder that you are now a true polar explorer.
Back on board, you’ll have opportunities to learn and share discoveries with family and new friends in relaxed atmosphere. MS MIdnatsol is a ship built and designed to meet the needs of modern explorers – both on and off board. Our Science Center is a great place to meet fellow adventurers of all ages for scientific fun with our engaging Expedition team. The media room on board shows the highlights of the day, and if you haven’t joined an excursion or landing, you can see films and photos to share in the adventures at the end of each day. All scientific content is presented in a lively, fun and easily understood manner: first class edutainment, so to speak.
Join us on a voyage to the extreme south of planet and create the adventure of a lifetime.
