In a remarkable expansion of its expedition programme, APT is set to launch an exclusive 15-day Antarctic voyage departing on 3 February 2024. This voyage, a one-date only opportunity, promises an unparalleled adventure combining the cultural vibrancy of Buenos Aires with the raw, untouched beauty of Antarctica. Guests will begin their journey with three nights in Buenos Aires, indulging in a locally guided city tour. They have the choice to explore the city’s vibrant street art, admire its Parisian-style architecture, or visit the iconic Teatro Colon opera house.
Following the Buenos Aires stay, guests will embark on a 10-night cruise aboard the Le Boreal, a vessel specifically designed for navigating glacial terrains, providing comfort with its lounges, multiple restaurants, and a theatre. The onboard experience is further enriched by wellness facilities, including a heated pool, fitness centre, and spa. This voyage is meticulously crafted to offer not just luxury, but an insightful encounter with the awe-inspiring Antarctic environment.
The expedition is set to explore some of the most captivating destinations, such as the haunting Deception Island, an active volcano with a storied past as a whaling station. Guests are likely to witness incredible wildlife, including penguin rookeries and seal colonies, and may even spot majestic orca, humpback, and minke whales during the zodiac expeditions.
Moreover, the itinerary includes potential stops at the historic Port Lockroy scientific base, offering a glimpse into the life and work in the extreme Antarctic environment. This journey stands out not only for its focus on meaningful exploration but also for its exclusivity, with only 200 places available, highlighting the importance of early booking.
Brad Bennetts, head of sales and business development for APT & Travelmarvel, emphasized the significance of this venture, stating, “We are thrilled to offer this bucket-list worthy cruise to our guests and agent partners, reinforcing our position as a leading expedition cruise operator.” Bennetts anticipates that the limited availability will spur rapid bookings, underscoring the unique appeal of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
APT’s Antarctic expedition promises a distinctive blend of cultural exploration and natural wonder, set within one extraordinary journey.
