Antarctica

The very word “Antarctica” evokes awe, mystery, and adventure. A remote wilderness at the bottom of the Earth, this frozen continent has attracted the most accomplished adventurers and scientists the world has ever known. French explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot described its allure as “powerful and tenacious,”and the few travelers who are fortuate enough to visit return home changed by an experience so elemental that it touches their very core. Join us and set out to discover Antarctica aboard the 114-guest Corinthian II . This vessel was originally built in 1992 and refurbished and redecorated in 2004. The Corinthian II accommodates all guest in 57 outside suites, each affording sea views and elegantly appointed. It is with great pride and enthusiasm that we invite you aboard Corinthian II in Antarctica this coming winter.

Our voyage takes place during the austral summer, when the days are long and relatively mild, when seabirds are courting, penguin chicks are hatching, and massive icebergs thaw into beautiful sculptures of brilliant form and color. Each day presents a new discovery, whether we’re cruising through ice-filled channels, walking among crowded penguin rookeries, or witnessing minkes, humpbacks, and orcas cavorting in the sparkling waters. Corinthian II's ideal size and maneuverability allow for in-depth discovery and a fleet of Zodiac landing craft provides up-close viewing of the spectacular scenery. Furthermore, this lovely ship provides guests with a perfect balance to their invigorating outdoor adventures by enveloping them in a cocoon of warmth and elegance. Few people ever experience the otherworldly grandeur of what we call the White Continent. But even fewer will have the great fortune to explore Antarctica aboard Corinthian II.
