Travel to Antarctica

Berths to Antarctica for next summer are rapidly becoming as scarce as penguins' teeth, but Peregrine Adventures has come up with a further option.

The company has chartered a refurbished Russian research vessel and will ask passengers what they want to do rather than following a structured schedule.

The Peregrine Mariner will take up to 100 passengers on up to 11 departures this summer.
