The Antarctic Peninsula is anything but a world of white desolation. Join us on a true adventure to a world of immense scale and visual splendour. Passing huge icebergs in the flat calm of a polar morning will reshape the way you look at your world. Encounter huge whales, enormous rookeries of penguins, and stunning landscapes few have ever witnessed. This 11-day expedition will introduce you to the magic of the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula.

The adventure begins with an an 1000km (800mi) crossing of the passage named in honour of the 16th-century English sea captain and privateer, Sir Francis Drake.

Attempt two shore landings per day (weather permitting) and encounter Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adélie penguin rookeries, Weddell, crabeater and leopard seals, and orca, humpback and minke whales in the cold Antarctic waters. During the voyage, learn about the peninsula's remarkable history.

At a nimble 105 metre in length, the G Expedition is capable of reaching remote areas the bigger ships simply can't reach. She can accommodate a maximum of 132 passengers and following a multi-million dollar refurbishment and refit offers travellers a unique and comfortable way of exploring the Polar Regions. The refit included the installation of brand new cabins with ensuite bathrooms, a refurbishment of the dining room -large enough to accommodate all passengers in one sitting - the pub, lounge, gym and sauna.

Guests have the choice of five categories of cabins ranging from quad-share to suites. Each cabin will be outside facing featuring either portholes or windows and the ship will boast multiple viewing areas, including a 360-degree observation deck for wildlife spotting.

G Expedition is fitted with state-of-the-art stabilizers to ensure as smooth a passage as possible. With a top speed of 16 knots, passengers spend less time travelling from A to B and more time exploring the destination. The ship is outfitted with all the latest safety equipment including covered lifeboats and a fast rescue boat from Norsafe.

An elite team of 10 expedition staff, consisting of expedition leaders, naturalists, historians, geologists and marine and avian biologists, accompany every cruise in order to share their knowledge of the destination’s history, unique environment and wildlife.
