The Weddell Sea & Emperors

Yes. Emperor penguins are the heart of a Weddell Sea journey, and Forest Travel arranges the rare trips to their colonies in the deep south. The Emperors, an 8–10 day starting point, centres on a rare landing near an emperor penguin colony, with the chicks and the vast white silence around you. Your advisor reshapes it entirely around you.

A helicopter flight over the Weddell Sea's tabular icebergs takes you above bergs the size of nations, flat-topped and seemingly endless. Forest Travel arranges these flights privately. The Heli-Expedition, an 8–11 day starting point, is built around helicopter access to the tabular bergs and to ice that is otherwise beyond reach.

Yes. The Deep South joins the Weddell Sea and the Peninsula in one extraordinary expedition of 10–14 days, arranged privately. It suits travelers who want the emperor colonies, the tabular bergs and the deepest ice woven into a single journey through the far south, and your advisor reshapes it entirely around you.

Yes. The Photographer's Far Ice is an 8–11 day Weddell Sea journey built around the rarest light and wildlife on the planet, with private guides. It can bring together the emperor penguin colonies, the flat-topped tabular bergs and a push into the pack ice few ships ever reach, where the continent is at its most remote.

The Weddell Sea guide does not name a single best month; timing is settled with your Forest Travel advisor as part of shaping your journey. This is Antarctica's rarest, wildest reach, a sea that opens to the very few, so the moment you go is planned around what you most want: a rare landing near an emperor penguin colony, private helicopter flights over the tabular bergs, or a push into the deep pack ice.

Most Weddell Sea journeys run 8 to 14 days. The Emperors, focused on the emperor penguin colonies, takes 8–10 days. The Heli-Expedition over the tabular bergs and The Photographer's Far Ice each take 8–11 days. The Deep South, which joins the Weddell Sea and the Peninsula in one expedition, takes 10–14 days. These are points of departure, not packages, and your advisor reshapes the length entirely around you.

Yes. Forest Travel designs private journeys to the Weddell Sea, and its itineraries are points of departure rather than packages that your advisor reshapes entirely around you. Forest Travel arranges the rare trips to the emperor penguin colonies, private helicopter flights over the tabular bergs, private guides for photographers and the push into the deepest ice. All of it can be woven into a single journey through the far south, including The Deep South, which is arranged privately.
