    Te most valuable things in

    lie are not our possessions,

    but rather the experiences

    that bring us closer to each

    other and to ourselves. Tatis why, nearly 50 years aer

    ounding Abercrombie &

    Kent, I still regard travel as the

    most ullling and worthwhile

    pastime. No purchase or

    investment provides greater

    lielong value than an inspiring

    journey taken in riendly

    company.

    Our goal at Abercrombie &

    Kent has always been to providesuch inspiring journeys. All o

    the itineraries in this brochure

    include A&Ks customary insider

    access opportunities, and our

    escorted group journeys are led

    by an A&K our Director, anamiable travelling companion

    with unmatched knowledge

    o the destinations on your

    itinerary.

    Tough an A&K vacation

    may end in a matter o days or

    weeks, its benets do not. You

    and the riends and amily with

    whom you travel will savor your

    experiences together long aer

    returning home. Te people youmeet and the sights you see will

    continue to provide inspiring

    memories. Tis is value in the

    truest sense o the word: a lasting

    gi to yoursel that will only

    improve as the years advance.

    Read this brochure, and

    let us welcome you on an

    unorgettable journey.

    at any moment yield. Aboe the gray

    Shore excurSionS

    Following years o experience navigating Antarctic waters,

    the A&K expedition team knows just where and when

    to position Le Boreal or maximum access to wildlie

    and spectacular views. With the exception o days at sea,

    two shore excursions are planned or each day (weather

    conditions permitting). Your expedition leader, who

    reviews saety and conditions on shore, precedes each

    excursion with a brieng. Board your Zodiac sturdy,motorized rubber boats designed by Jacques Cousteau

    or sae operations in rough and shallow waters with a

    group o no more than 12 passengers, and head to shore.

    On shore, activities vary depending on terrain, but expect

    your expert naturalist guide to explain and demystiy

    every sight you see. Encounter diverse and hardy wildlie

    native to your destination just a ew eet away, ready

    subjects or your camera. In the Falkland Islands, stay

    along the coast and stroll past rockhopper penguin or hike

    or better views o a thousand-strong colony. In South

    Georgia, pay your respects to Sir Ernest Shackleton whenyou visit his gravesite in the company o a historian with

    lielong experience in the great explorers lie. And in

    Antarctica, tiptoe around gentoo penguin waddling by or

    guarding their newly hatched chicks.

    at sea to shed light on every aspect o your journey the

    quintessential sights as well as the elements you probably

    never considered. Toughtul lectures in the Teatre

    cover topics ranging rom the practical (how to master

    your digital camera) and the enriching (an introductionto Southern Ocean whales) to the thought-provoking (the

    unsung role o penguins in Antarctic exploration) and

    personal (a rsthand account by lecturer Bob Burton on

    overwintering in Signy Island).

    Our expedition sta is also constantly on the lookout or

    We awoke to ice-covered mountains reecting

    o the surace o Paradise Bay. We dressed and

    made our way to the dining room or breakast.

    We re-boarded the Zodiacs or a tour o the bay.

    Some o us stopped at a colony o blue-eyed

    shags tending to their young perched on cli

    ledges high above us. Patches o ice and colossal

    icebergs dotted the bay. We came across what

    seemed like a Zodiac in distress but it turnedout to be a bar ull o bubbly. We toasted our

    continental landing with champagne, reecting

    on the incredible morning.

    Our cruise director assistedus onto a Zodiac. As we

    motored ashore in our small

    group we had one thing

    in mind: we were about

    to set oot on Antarctica.

    We touched terra frma at

    the Argentine Almirante

    Brown Station in Paradise

    Bay, on the mainland o

    the Antarctic Peninsula. As

    we planted our eet on thecontinent itsel, many o us

    were overwhelmed by the

    emotion o this milestone.

    We hiked up the peak

    behind the station or a

    view o Paradise Bay, which

    sprawled out below us.

    We enjoyed lunch on the deck, scanning or seal on

    ice oes and watching the ever-changing mountainsalong our route through the Errera Channel. Te

    executive che had prepared a delicious hot soup and

    chili, which we enjoyed by the pool deck so we didnt

    miss any wildlie sightings. As lunch drew to a close,

    a call came rom the bridge that a large group o

    humpback whales was eeding up ahead. We grabbed

    cameras and made our way to watch the show.

    Following a brieng by our expedition leader, we went to the deck to watch our approach to Cuverville Island.Upon landing, we decided to simply sit on the cobble beach, taking in the sights all around. Many o us spent as

    much as two hours watching thousands o gentoo penguin that surrounded us, strolling by and eeding their chicks.

    Some o us also took a hike up a ridge to a point where we could absorb the immensity o the penguin colony.

    Te ride back to the ship was bumpy, yet another ace o

    Antarctica revealing itsel. Aer warming up with a shower,

    we joined our shipmates in the bar, where storytelling and

    laughter lled our early evening.

    Aer a gourmet dinner, some o us

    lapped the outer deck, with spectacular

    mountains wherever we looked. We

    retired or the night early we would be

    entering the stunning Lemaire Channel

    by 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, and we didnt

    want to miss a thing.
