Ultimate Antarctica by Private Expedition Yacht

Antarctica might feel remote, but the White Continent is deeply connected to the rest of the planet, shaping global climate and marine life in ways we’re only beginning to understand. Expedition Leader Maru Marcias explores what makes Antarctica extraordinary, from whales, seals and penguins to the ocean currents that sustain life. Learn how the Antarctic Treaty and strict tourism guidelines protect this region while setting an example for the world.

Humpback whales possess remarkable sensory adaptations that allow them to navigate, communicate and thrive in diverse marine environments. Expedition Leader Lianne Thompson dives into the roles the five senses of touch, hearing, sight, taste and smell play in humpback whale behaviors such as feeding, migration and social interactions. She also addresses conservation challenges like noise pollution and climate change and highlights the importance of protecting humpback whales and their habitats.

Dive into the underwater world of whales! Expedition Leader and biologist Andrea Adame introduces us to some of the whale family’s most well-known members, including humpbacks, orcas and gray whales, as well as other cetaceans (marine mammals characterized by their aquatic lifestyle, streamlined body shape and exclusively carnivorous diet) like dolphins and porpoises. You’ll also find out how you can witness gray whales in the wild during their winter migration to Mexico on our Great Gray Whales of Baja adventure!
