Was Sie erwartet

Die Antarktis ist anders als jeder andere Ort der Erde. Segeln Sie an kathedralenhaften Eisbergen und von Gletschern geformten Buchten vorbei, gehen Sie per Zodiac an Land und treffen Sie auf eine Welt, die von Pinguinen, Robben und Walen beherrscht wird. Fügen Sie die Geschichten von Entdeckern und der frühen Polarforschung hinzu, und jeder Tag fühlt sich wie ein erster an.

Ihre maßgeschneiderte Reise

Die Antarktis belohnt Reisende, die sowohl Komfort als auch echte Entdeckung suchen. Zwischen den Landgängen kehren Sie an Bord in nordische Ruhe zurück, genießen fachkundige Einordnung, herzlichen Service und Logenplätze auf den offenen Decks.

Überquerung des Antarktischen Kreises

Segeln Sie jenseits von 66°33′S und spüren Sie das wahre Ausmaß des fernen Südens, wo Tageslicht, Eis und Wetter ihre eigenen Regeln bestimmen.

Eisfjorde

Fahren Sie in Südgeorgiens dramatischste Fjorde, wo steile, dunkle Gipfel Sie zu tideabhängigen Gletschern leiten, die direkt ins Meer kalben.

Echos des Walfangs

Spazieren Sie zwischen den kargen Überresten der Walfangära Südgeorgiens, wo verrostete Bauten und verwitterte Maschinen noch immer die Küstenlinie säumen.

Vorposten im Südatlantik

Berühren Sie Inseln, die nur wenige Schiffe erreichen, von Siedlungen im Stil von Tristan da Cunha bis zu einsamen Vulkanufern auf dem Weg in die Antarktis.

Drake Passage

Sail the Drake Passage, following in the wake of explorers across one of the world’s most legendary sea crossings, where the meeting of oceans creates a dynamic seascape alive with seabirds and the promise of Antarctica ahead.

Connect With Nature

In Antarctica, wildlife does not feel like a sidebar. Penguins march past your landing site, seals rest on the ice at arm’s length, and whales surface without warning in calm bays. The best moments often happen in the space between plans.

Penguin Colonies

Meet king, gentoo, chinstrap, and Adélie penguins up close.

Whales in Polar Waters

Watch for humpbacks feeding in nutrient-rich channels, often right beside the ship.

Seals of the Southern Ocean

Look for fur seals, Weddell seals, and the unmistakable leopard seal lounging on floes or patrolling the shallows.

Albatross

Along the rugged coastlines of the Falkland Islands, immense albatross colonies gather, shaping one of the most impressive seabird landscapes in the South Atlantic.

Expedition Activities

Your days are built around getting off the ship and into the landscape. Zodiacs take you through ice filled channels to landing sites and wildlife hot spots, while the expedition team shapes each outing with briefings, guided walks, and optional adventures for those who want more time on the water.

Zodiac cruising

Cruise through ice-filled channels and along glacier fronts, reaching coves and landing sites that ships cannot access, with opportunities to observe wildlife at a respectful distance in line with IAATO guidelines.

Hiking

Step ashore for short hikes on snow-covered landscapes, icy shores, and coastal trails, paced for the group and shaped by conditions on the day.

Kayak through the ice

Optional paddling in calm polar bays for a quiet, close to the water perspective of ice and wildlife.

Expert-led Talks

Daily briefings and talks from the expedition team, adding context to every landing, channel, and historic site.

Become a Citizen Scientist

During your trip, join Swan Hellenics Citizen Science programs and contribute to real-world environmental research.

Take the Polar Plunge

Ready to test your bravery? Swan Hellenic's polar plunge invites you to jump into the icy waters of the Southern Ocean.

Snowshoeing

Explore the Antarctic landscape on foot with a different kind of traction — snowshoes open up terrain beyond the shoreline, from snow-covered slopes to quieter corners away from the landing sites.
