Activities like mountaineering, snowshoeing, kayaking, camping, scuba diving, and photography workshops are all available, along with the chance to see such iconic Antarctic species as humpback whales, leopard seals, Adelie penguins, and so much more.
Oceanwide Expeditions is packed, prepped, and fully primed for the 2020 Antarctic season, having made a series of key upgrades to its three m/v cruisers, Plancius, Ortelius, and Hondius.
In addition to their usual mid-season checkups, these vessels received multiple renovations: updated cabins for Plancius; a dining room and crew area makeover for Ortelius; and more user-friendly gangways for Polar Class 6 Hondius, as well as numerous smaller updates.
The completion of this work is a great kick-off for the Antarctica 2020 season, which is bright and full of adventure opportunities for every traveler.

Our Antarctica 2020 program includes all of our most popular expeditions, such as our classic Antarctic Peninsula trips, which seek out some of the best landscapes and wildlife along this emblematic landmass.
On the other hand, Oceanwide Expeditions's multi-activity Basecamp voyages are ideal for travelers who want a cruise as immersive as it is exhilarating.
Specialized Weddell and Ross Seas cruises are great for polar connoisseurs looking for lesser-visited locations, while people interested in a more expansive journey will love the stunning sub-Antarctic wildlife havens of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia.
Company's philosophy at Oceanwide Expeditions is to get its guests off the ship and into the action as much as possible. This means short sea legs that provide as many outdoor excursions as they can fit in, with as many exotic wildlife sightings as nature (and its guides) can provide. This has been its mission for over 25 years.
