Long a ghost on the world map, the legendary “White Continent” now exerts a genuine fascination. The promise of an exceptional journey, the discovery of a still-intact world.

To reach the “Sixth Continent“, you will cross the famous Drake Passage and reach the “Polar Front” marking the meeting point of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean waters. Then, the magic continues as you arrive in Neko Harbour, discovered by the Belgian explorer Adrien de Gerlache. Further south, amid a setting of ice, tall cliffs appear, marking the entrance to the spectacular Lemaire Channel. Further on, Deception Island, a former whaling station, reveals a colony of chinstrap penguins.
