Experience Antarctica through our lens as we explore the White Continent aboard Holland America Line’s Oosterdam, part of their 22‑night South America & Antarctica cruise sailing from Buenos Aires to Santiago in February 2026. This video focuses entirely on our five days in Antarctica, filmed from 8 February 2026, showcasing dramatic glaciers, wildlife encounters, historic sites, and the breathtaking scenery around Elephant Island, Admiralty Bay, King George Island, Charlotte Bay, Dallman Bay, Wilhelmina Bay, Cuverville Island, Neumayer Stait, Port Lockroy and the stunning Lemaire Channel. If you’re researching the Holland America Antarctica itinerary, planning your own cruise, or simply love immersive travel content, this video gives you a clear, honest look at what the Antarctic portion of the Oosterdam voyage is really like. We cover iconic locations including Point Wild, Cape Valentine, Endurance Glacier, Admiralty Bay, Copacabana penguin colonies, and the surrounding landscapes. This is a traveller’s perspective — filmed onboard, on deck, and across the Antarctic Peninsula region. If you're considering booking Holland America’s South America & Antarctica cruise, this video will help you understand what the Antarctic days look and feel like. A big thank you to the Captain and Crew aboard the Oosterdam. The ship sailed further South than any other vista class ship of her size, reaching 65 degrees South in the Lemaire Channel.
