Encountered this very tired and peaceful Weddell seal at Half Moon Island!

Update from onboard the USHUAIA at Halfmoon Island - which is known not only for its distinctive crescent shape but also for hosting two different penguin species breeding in the same rookery. During our landing, we captured these three “neighbors” enjoying a peaceful nap together!

Can you name the two different penguin species?

Update from onboard our CLASSIC South Georgia Voyage on board the USHUAIA:
Great weather greeted us at West Point Island where we witnessed a male Black-browed Albatross approaching his mate who is busy incubating her egg. Their nest is surrounded by a bustling colony of Rockhopper penguins.

This is a sad moment for all of us at Antarpply Expeditions and Antarctic Community.

Its is with a heavy heart that we inform you that Ute Hohn-Bowen passed away last Wednesday.

She was our director for two decades and a source of inspiration to all of us. She helped develop and grow the business contributing significantly to our reputation as a one of the leading small expedition cruise operators in the industry.

We would like to express our sincerest gratitude for her extraordinary dedication and commitment to us and the Antarctic community. She was a highly valued colleague and a delight to work with. For many, a dear friend who could always be counted on and a joy to be around. Her guidance, example, expertise and wisdom will be our lighthouse to continue guiding, directing and blessing the seas we will be sailing from now on. She will be greatly missed by all of us.

Just a few days before the start of our new season, we are committed to honoring Ute´s legacy by pursuing our goals with dedication and excellence.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this extremely sad time.

Lovely Ute, we wish you a beautiful and peaceful journey.

Teodoro Pablo GOUNARIS
CEO
On behalf of Owners, Directors & employees of Antarpply Expeditions and Captain, officers & crew of the USHUAIA

Don’t take our word for it - listen to our passengers.

IAATO regulations stipulate that you can only land 100 passengers at a time in Antarctica. The MVUshuaia accommodates a maximum of 90 passengers which means more time on land for you.

We are getting ready for our new season - step aboard and discover the magic of Antarctica with us!
