The entire purpose of building the vessel was to carry passengers to remote destinations and environments. Equipped with 20 Zodiac small watercraft, multiple lounges, advanced navigation equipment, and a top-deck observation room, the Ocean Endeavour “boasts a 1B ice class, enabling her to explore throughout the Arctic.”

Travellers will have the opportunity to witness some of the unique bird and marine life of the southern ocean as they journey in the wake of great antarctic explorers.
According to the Adventure Canada website, “legendary Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton’s journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia in an open boat is considered one of the greatest sea voyages in history.”
Guests can venture via Zodiac to witness firsthand the marvellous Antarctic ice and landscape up close.
When: January 17 to February 6, 2021
Cost: $13,990 – $23,990 USD ($18,575 – $31,853 CDN)

Guests travel from Ushuaia, Argentina to the Antarctic Penninsula and back while visiting the South Shetland Islands, which are rich in beauty and wildlife.
Visitors are encouraged to “join the fortunate few (conditions permitting) who have travelled below the Antarctic Circle,” and “add the great southern continent to your travel bucket list.”
Because of the drop in temperature when sailing towards Antarctica and crossing the Antarctic Convergence, travellers will have the unique opportunity to witness whales, seabirds, and other species attracted bt the “nutrient-rich waters” in their natural habitat.
Possible animals to see include albatross, elephant seals, several species of penguins, and dolphins.
When: January 5 to January 18, 2021
Cost: $7,990 – $17,990 USD ($10,611 – $23,888 CDN)
