During the current 12-day Antarctic Exploration voyage (January 28 to February 9) aboard the Seabourn Venture, guests not only witnessed Antarctica, but also helped set new polar records for Seabourn and the entire Carnival Corporation fleet.
During this voyage, the Seabourn Venture:
- It became the ship that reached the southernmost point of the Antarctic Peninsula to date by crossing the Antarctic Circle
- It reached 70° South, the southernmost point in the history of Seabourn and Carnival Corporation
- He completed the first Seabourn exploration of the George VI Strait, venturing far beyond the more familiar routes around the peninsula
- He landed the guests directly onto the Antarctic sea ice at approximately 69.5° South for a champagne toast at the southernmost point a Seabourn guest has ever been
- He took the guests ashore at the historic E Base on Stonington Island, a little-visited former British research station that offers a tangible link to mid-20th-century Antarctic exploration
Led by Captain Simon Bishop and expedition leader Luqui Bernacchi, the journey combined serious exploration with once-in-a-lifetime moments, including Zodiac landings at the edge of the ice, expert performances from a world-class expedition team, and the unforgettable experience of standing on Antarctic sea ice near the end of the world, knowing you had just helped set a record for the company.
