Wind have four superlative restaurants; an array of suites; and beauty spa. The 144-guest Silver Explorer boasts some of the most comfortable suites in expedition cruising and is renowned for its gourmet cuisine. All three ships have an incomparable team of expedition leaders, naturalists and guides. As you approach the Antarctic Peninsula the phrase ‘trip of a lifetime’ springs to life, nowhere more so than in the Lemaire Channel where mountains of rock erupt sheer-sided from the sea. Little wonder this narrow watery chasm, dotted with delphinium-blue glaciers, is known as ‘Kodak Gap’. Explorations on board Zodiacs allow passengers to see the continent’s residents at close quarters: Adélie, Gentoo and Chin-Strap Penguins; Snow Petrels and Pintado Petrels, as well as Crabeater

and Weddell seals. Bellowing Elephant Seals and raucous rookeries of penguins are unperturbed by their visitors; while In the distance humpback whales, their flukes like a fan-dance pageant, arch and sink beneath the water. No one departs Antarctica in any doubt they’ve seen a land of wonder. 1 night 5* room only pre and post cruise stays in Buenos Aires plus 10 night Antarctica Expedition from Ushuaia on board Silver Wind. Flying from regional airports on 28th February 2023, sailing with Silversea Expeditions. Vista Suite from £9,800 per person.
