*** CHILE VISAS ***
Please note that Australian passport holding guests visiting Chile for 72 hours or longer, will require a visa for Chile that also requires a Chilean sponsor. This visa is currently very difficult for Australians to obtain, and we recommend Australian passport holders choose a cruise without Chile stays of longer than 72 hours. Other nationalities may or may not be subject to these conditions.
_______________

As Antarctica laps up the last of the summer sun and the landscape bathes in dappled light, its inhabitants show no signs of slowing down. Sail across the famed Drake Passage to and from Antarctica, admiring spectacular seabirds and approaching the ice as the explorers of old did – by sea. With one eye on the sky, watching for skuas, terns or cormorant chicks, you will also need one eye on the water`s surface. This time of year is when humpback whales are peaking in numbers and when you may see penguin chicks heading out for their first swim.

Highlights:
- Hone your ice and wildlife photography skills.
- In Zodiacs, explore quiet bays and coves in search of wildlife and marvelling at dazzling icebergs.
- Observe extraordinary wildlife including migrating whales and moulting penguins.
- Sail the Chilean Fjords, keeping watch for the many seabirds and marine wildlife including dolphins, sea lions and whales preparing to return to warmer climates for the winter.
