A
voyage to Antarctica or one of the surroundings islands is the
absolute top within tourism nowadays. It is an almost pure area
with an abundant wildlife. The overwhelming power of a glacier,
descending from a 2500 meter high summit, and of icebergs
floating around the vessel is hard to describe. Penguins, seals
and whales join us and thanks to the southern summer,
temperatures average above freezing.”
Afterwards
there is a fifth expedition of seven weeks from Ushuaia to
Capetown, South Africa. During this expedition the ship will
call again almost at all spots in Antarctica as the 22
days expeditions.
From Antarctica the EUROPA will sail with prevailing westerly
wind to South Georgia. Here you
