Dear Fellow Traveler,

I am writing to invite you on an epic adventure to the most remote place on earth. I hope you’ll join me as I sail

the beautiful Seabourn Quest on our Ultimate Antarctica & Patagonia voyages during the austral summer of

2013 and 2014. I have had the good fortune to sail these waters before, and I can attest that the places we will

explore on these voyages guarantee a cruising experience beyond anything you’ve witnessed.

The Patagonian portion alone is an awe-inspiring voyage along some of the most magnificent coastlines in

the world. We will cruise by great sea-run glaciers, thread channels between tall, forested islands, and visit

rustic, fascinating ports and breathtaking landscapes. Add far-flung outposts such as Port Stanley in the

Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas and Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, and it’s a traveler’s dream.

But, of course, the heart of our journey will be spent in the pristine, unspoiled Antarctic. We have equipped

Seabourn Quest to show you Antarctica in style. You will be joined by a skilled expedition staff specializing in

a number of disciplines, who will inform you on board and accompany you ashore to interpret the wonders you

encounter. Landings at historic sites, teeming wildlife colonies, and Zodiac cruising among fantastically shaped

icebergs and abundant sea life will fill each day.

And you will see it all from the gracious, luxurious base of Seabourn Quest, furnished with every comfort and

amenity you could desire, and a staff dedicated to filling your time on board with Seabourn moments that

match the wonders outside.

I have experienced Antarctica before, and I can promise you that, if you sail with me on Seabourn Quest, you

will discover the White Continent in a way that no one has before.

I hope that I may welcome you on board to share one of these voyages.

Gerlache Strait ■■ This deep, scenic channel is home to Gentoo, Adélie and

Chinstrap penguins as well as pods of feeding humpback whales. Depending on

weather and ice conditions, your veteran expedition staff will select the best spots to

venture ashore. Explore alongside naturalists, scientific experts and digital

photography coaches who will come along to help you understand and capture incredible

memories of your adventures among the Antarctic wildlife and scenic splendor.

Onboard debriefings, both organized and casual, are a chance to share your

day’s events and hear what your fellow travelers have seen and done.

Chilean Fjords ■■ Day after day, your ship glides between towering peaks, some polished and others densely forested. Silvery waterfalls dance from the

heights, glittering like tinsel against the stone. A massive, wrinkled river of ice descends to a glowing,

blue-white wall at the head of its bay.

Puerto Montt ■■ Trek among ancient trees, zip line over canyons or cast for

legendary Chilean trout in Chile’s verdant Lake District.

South Georgia Island ■■ Abundant green vegetation will greet you as you arrive. The seas here are rich in nutrients and food, supporting huge populations of penguins, seals and birds. Whales, too, are returning after their long decline due to over-hunting. Few places are as remote and difficult to reach, making your visit an even more exceptional privilege.

Drake Passage ■■ All eyes will be watching flocks of fascinating seabirds flit, soar and

swoop to survey your ship. Noble albatrosses glide effortlessly just above the waves,

and petrel squadrons shadow the ship and patter across the surface like ballerinas en

pointe. We’ll be watching for whales here too, before heading back inside for a Seabourn

Conversation to deepen our understanding of the splendors we’re witnessing.

Port Stanley ■■ Stanley’s cathedral, the oldest in the Southern Hemisphere, is marked by an arch made from whale jawbones. The town’s roofs are painted in different cheerful hues, and the islanders are proud of their sheep, penguins and unshakeable self-reliant tenacity.
