Even today, after many decades of exploration, Antarctica remains a world apart, a majestic last frontier surpassing even the most jaded of travelers’ expectations. Join us aboard the MS Island Sky and follow in the footsteps of researchers, pioneers, adventurers and discoverers on this all-kosher expedition cruise to the seventh continent.

It is hard to put into words the sheer grandeur of an Antarctic landscape. This most southern of continents, this desert of ice is so unique and uncommon to man’s experience that even the most dramatic of photographs pale into insignificance when one is confronted by the sheer magnitude, beauty and wonder of an Antarctic landscape. Enormous icebergs rise from the sea, hillsides are covered with thousands of penguins, and seals basking on icebergs dot the channels and straits through which we will sail. The sights, sounds and emotions will stay with you forever.

For most travelers, the Antarctic experience is a once in a lifetime visit, and so it is important that the trip should be as rewarding as possible. The 100-passenger MS Island Sky with KRC Expeditions is the perfect vessel, both in terms of the educational experience on board and the number and quality of opportunities ashore. Antarctica is to be experienced and not only to merely be seen, and we believe the best way to do this is on board a small ship. Our in-depth itinerary allows for eleven days of exploration on the Peninsula and has been timed for late summer, when whale sightings are at their peak, the penguin chicks begin to fledge and brave their first swim, and the snow algae is in bloom. In between our landings and while at sea, you can pass the time on deck looking for wildlife, attend the series of lectures by members of the expedition team or simply relax on board while enjoying the facilities.
