Exploring Antarctica with MS Midnatsol
MS Midnatsol offers an opportunity for travelers who possess a true spirit of exploration, and who want to “thrill” their senses by connecting with extraordinary natural surroundings - not just sailing by on a big ocean liner. Here is the chance to connect with Antarctica’s gigantic ice, penguins, leopard seals, whales and albatross. And more, to be among the fortunate few to step foot on the last untouched continent. Back onboard, scientists will help deepen your understanding of Antarctica’s wildlife and environment, and expand your awareness of the fascinating world around you.
