Deception Island is a mountainous, horseshoe-shaped island located off the coast of Antarctica in the South Shetland Islands. This wildlife sanctuary serving as a habitat to eight nesting seabirds, an active volcano, and the largest group of penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula (and possibly the world!)
While enjoying the breathtaking views from the pool deck, The Waterfront, or even your balcony, you can get a memorable glimpse of chinstrap penguins waddling about, slipping in and out of the frigid waters. In the distance you’ll see a picturesque shot at of Deception Island’s active volcano. It geothermally heats the island’s black-sand beach and warms the nearby water, providing a unique landscape in an otherwise frozen world.
Monday, Jan 24:
Cruise Elephant Island/Cape Lookout
Note: The ship will not dock or allow for excursions in Antarctica.
Situated off the coast of Antarctica, Elephant Island is named after the elephant seals that populate it and due to the island being shaped like an elephant head. Rugged mountains, glistening sheets of ice and unique wildlife add to the mystique of this remote destination. Despite its seemingly unforgiving, yet hauntingly beautiful landscape, legions of tuxedoed-looking penguins waddle across the rocky terrain while giant elephant seals lounge on its shores.

If detox is what you crave, sit down at the sauna to sweat out your cares as your heart and sweat glands work together to purify your body.
Take a dip in the hot tub and leave the world behind as the power of the warm water improves your circulation and loosen stiff muscles.
Tip: Word on the Thermal Suites is out, and the limited passes that are good for a weeklong sailing sell out quickly. If you're interested, reserve online prior to sailing or make a stop at guest services a priority on embarkation day.
