Filter & compare all 355 departures

The Lemaire Channel is Antarctica's most photographed passage: 11 km long, barely 600 m wide at its narrowest, walled by kilometre-high cliffs that reflect perfectly in still water. Crews call it "Kodak Gap".

Ships time the transit for the best light, and everyone ends up on deck. When ice blocks the channel, that too is pure Antarctica.
