Highlights
Our 11-day Antarctic Marine Mammals: The World of Whales & Seals itinerary offers guests the rare chance to actively engage in citizen science—while exploring the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetland Islands. Co-developed by Ari Friedlaender, founder of the renowned Friedlaender Lab, this hands-on itinerary is designed to maximize observations of migratory whales, such as minke, humpback, and fin. A research associate from Happywhale will guide guests in identifying individual whales for global conservation projects. At the onboard Science Hub, guests connect with experts, participate in meaningful research, and help protect this pristine polar habitat for whales, seals, and all marine life.
