Making the most of Paradise Bay
Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.
Arriving at the port
Cruise ships cannot dock here, so inflatable Zodiac boats bring passengers ashore by tender.
Sightseeing
Paradise Bay is a favourite place to explore by Zodiac craft. Visitors thread their way between the continent’s icebergs and glaciers, reflected in icy water to create an unusual, truly beautiful landscape. Seals and penguins rest on pieces of floating ice, while whales have also been seen nearby, sometimes coming within feet of the Zodiacs. Landings are uncommon and, for many, unnecessary: the tranquillity of the surroundings is more than enough.
