WHY MARCH?
A different Side of Antarctica

March brings a different rhythm to the Antarctic Peninsula. For those drawn to wildlife, it’s an especially rewarding time to travel, with feeding whales taking centre stage alongside active penguin colonies, seals and seabirds.

Humpbacks gather to feed in krill-rich Antarctic waters, with opportunities to encounter minke whales and orcas too.

Wildlife Beyond Whales
Penguin colonies remain active, with molting chicks a common sight alongside seals and seabirds.

This itinerary includes an extra day exploring Antarctica’s whale-rich waters compared with our standard Whale Season itinerary.
