New: Emperor Penguins and Ross Sea including helicopters

by Oceanwide Expeditions News 07.02.2012

​Oceanwide Expeditions is excited to announce that we are expanding our program with Ortelius in the 2012-13 Antarctic season.

We will offer three voyages to the Emperor penguins in the Weddell Sea including helicopters. We will also equip our vessel Ortelius with helicopters during our Ross Sea voyages. This is a significant and exciting undertaking.

This does require a schedule and price change to the Ortelius 2012-13 Antarctic season. We believe that this will offer your clientele two new spectacular programs – absolutely unique in the marketplace.
