Enjoy a thrilling 9-day voyage onboard Ocean Albatros, exploring the lesser-visited sides of Portugal, Spain, France and England.

Date: 25.04.2025 – 03.05.2025

Prices from: US$4.026 per person in a shared triple F cabin

From Lisbon, the legendary Portuguese capital, along the wild western fringes of Europe to the heart of England, this voyage has something for everyone!

Join a thrilling voyage onboard Ocean Albatros, our purpose-built expedition ship. Sail in the wake of European travellers of ages gone by and explore the lesser-visited sides of Portugal, Spain, France and England. 

Your voyage begins in the spellbinding Portuguese capital of Lisbon, where fado music drifts out of bars serving green wine, and streetcars trundle along the streets. Next we visit the legendary city of Porto, home of port wine and the heartland of Portuguese culture before visiting the ancient city of A Coruña, where ancient stone walls guard the city, and a millennia-old lighthouse guards the seas of the verdant region of Galicia. 

Next, we visit the fortress town of Concarneau in the heart of Brittany, where we will experience a vibrant mix of French and Breton culture, before crossing the English Channel to the Scilly Isles, England's garden islands. From Scilly, we will sail along the south coast of England, a land of quaint harbour towns, brooding fortress cities, ancient Jurassic fossils and staggering coastal scenery, before finishing in Portsmouth, the vibrant home of the Royal Navy. 

From verdant gardens to ancient monuments, from cultural capitals to truly unique and off-the-beaten-track villages, this voyage is Europe as it was meant to be experienced. Experience with us!

Antarctica - Beyond the Polar Circle - Wilkins Ice Shelf:  16 days from $17,150pp - This voyage is a true expedition, exploring the rarely visited region of the Bellingshausen Sea, Marguerite Bay, and Alexander Island. We explore many of the places discovered by Adrien de Gerlache on his Belgian Antarctic Expedition (1897 – 1899) aboard the Belgica. This voyage leaves Ushuaia and heads straight beyond Antarctic Circle, where we aim to spend the rest of the trip. The variety of landings and wilderness in this region are rivalled by few other places on Earth.
