these two islands, this voyage is a unique and exciting Arctic adventure taking
place on the Akademik Ioffe. Finnish-built for the Russian Academy of Science,
this stable yet manoeuverable ship was designed to travel quietly during
hydro-acoustic research. First departure 4 August 2013. Prices start from

The journey begins
sailing east to South Georgia. Ernest Shackelton is buried here under the
spectacular ice crowned mountains. The ship will thread her way through magical
fjords to Salisbury Plain and Gold Harbour, places so remote that they have
evolved into astonishing wildlife havens boasting a 100,000-plus population of
King penguins and chicks on their beaches. The island also supports significant
populations of Elephant and Fur seals. The voyage continues to the South Orkney
Islands and then enters an enchanted world of icebergs and ice-covered
mountains, approaching the bays and channels of the Antarctic Peninsula. This
trip takes place aboard the Sea Adventurer, which underwent a $13 million polar
conversion in 1998. Her proud reputation is complimented by her well-appointed
elegance, and she comfortably supports 122 passengers.
