YOUR TRIP

Seal your status as a true Antarctic explorer on this exceptional voyage. Your expedition starts by traversing the formidable Southern Ocean, and notorious Drake Passage. Arriving on the White Continent, you are greeted by impressive landscapes and extraordinary wildlife. Explore this frozen wonderland with our expedition team, looking out for penguins, albatrosses, whales, sea elephants, and much more. You can even take your Antarctic adventure to new heights with a traditional 'polar plunge'. There’s nothing quite like the exhilarating effects of dipping in the icy waters of the Southern Ocean. Our cruise sails further south than most other tourist vessels, offering you the chance to visit incredible places others only dream of seeing. The Antarctic Circle is the southerly of the five major latitude circles that mark maps of the Earth. The region south of this circle experiences 'midnight sun' (periods of 24-hour daylight), and 'polar night' (where darkness lasts for over 24 hours).

Nestled in the foothills of the snow-capped Martial Range, Ushuaia’s colourful streets and mismatched buildings cascade from the imposing mountains before coming to an abrupt halt at the shores of the Beagle Channel. As one of the world’s southernmost cities, Ushuaia carries its ‘end of the world’ reputation well. The moody weather and dramatic surroundings certainly help. Board your boutique ship before departing for your journey through one of the most captivating wilderness regions of the world.

Sea days are rarely dull. Take the time to sit back and let the world go by. The ship’s observation decks provide stunning views of the passing ocean.

Among captivating glaciers, majestic icebergs and snowy islands, the Antarctic Peninsula is where most visitors to the White Continent live their Antarctica dream. It's the most accessible part, with scientific bases and incredible scenery, like the photogenic Lemaire Channel. Shore excursions might include Mikkelsen Harbour, where among gentoo penguins, snowy sheathbills and skuas, Antarctic Weddell seals haul out.
