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.

01

Arriving at the port

As cruise ships are not able to dock here you will be tendered by inflatable zodiac boats.

02

Sightseeing

Paradise Bay is a favorite location for exploration in Zodiac crafts. Visitors weave in and out of the continent's icebergs and glaciers that reflect in the icy waters creating a truly beautiful and unusual landscape. Seals and penguins can be found resting on the pieces of floating ice. Whales have also been spotted in the area, sometimes approaching within feet of the Zodiacs. Landings are not very common, but for many unnecessary; the tranquility of their surroundings is more than enough for most visitors.
