Dear Friends,

Visiting Antarctica is almost like stepping back in time, to an era when the world was new. There are no human sounds, only the wild cries of birds, seals, and whales echoing across a vast expanse of land and sea.


During the long days of Antarctica’s austral summer, as you cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands, you will have endless opportunities to observe seals, whales and seabirds in their natural habitat, to witness hillsides and shorelines teeming with penguins, and to cruise through the blue Antarctic waters admiring the dramatic play of light on icebergs, glaciers, and towering mountains.


We are privileged to have Richard Dawkins accompany us to Antarctica. He will share his experience and expertise with us in a series of lectures and discussions throughout the voyage, along with a team of naturalists.


Your vessel for this journey is the state-of-the-art expedition ship, Swan Hellenic’s Vega, designed specifically for polar exploration. The ship’s limited guest capacity, advanced technical and mechanical systems, and experienced officers and crew, make it the vessel of choice for exploring Antarctica in safety and comfort.


I hope you will join Richard Dawkins on this once-in-a-lifetime travel adventure.

Sincerely,

Robyn E. Blumner Signature
