Antarctic Peninsula: The Classic Voyage
Explore the very best of Antarctica’s diverse wildlife and ethereal landscapes, with an extra day to take advantage of this wonderfully unpredictable environment and the surprises that await. Depending on where and when an opportunity may present itself, we might venture further into the historic and wildlife-rich South Shetland Islands, where you’ll be greeted by Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins, and surrounded by a geology unlike any other on earth. Or perhaps we’ll take advantage of our ship’s extraordinary ice-breaking capability to explore deeper into the mysterious Antarctic Peninsula.

With an extra day on the agenda, the possibilities are endless

Included in every journey: bold history, mesmerizing landscapes, and endlessly enchanting wildlife. Come join us on a truly immersive expedition int....

Kayaks

To experience the polar regions in a truly intimate way, there’s really no better seat than the one in your kayak, just inches above the water, navigating among icebergs and glacial ice dating back 30,000 years. Gliding through an otherworldly landscape with a small team, led by our expert guides and occasionally joined by playful wildlife, this is about as magical as it gets.

Polar Plunge

It sounds like a crazy thing to do, but there are actually a number of reasons why hurling oneself into freezing cold water is one of our top activities.

Did you know that cold dipping is a long-standing Scandinavian tradition that has numerous health benefits? Taking a plunge in the coldest of waters provides plenty of perks for your well-being, including reducing stress, boosting energy, improving your immune system, and relievi....

Polar Camping

An Uninhabited Continent Opens Its Doors for One Incredible Night

What’s camping in Antarctica like? Long after most passengers are tucked away in their cabins, chances are you’ll still be lying awake, cozy in your sleeping bag, captivated by the ethereal sounds of gently lapping waves, creaking glaciers and perhaps the blow of a whale passing in the night.

The air seems even more pure than in the daytime, the scale of your ....

Citizen Science

Citizen Science on Every Voyage

Having a Citizen Science program on every voyage is an effort we pioneered, as the very first Antarctic operator to officially collaborate with The Polar Citizen Science Collective. We continue to team up with them on several projects, giving our passengers the chance to play a meaningful role in recording and better understanding the Antarctic ecosystem and the impact of climate change. This is par....

Zodiac Cruises

Zodiac boats are not only used for shuttling guests to/from land. Zodiac cruising is a great way to venture out and get even closer to some of the magnificent sights during your voyage. It is also great for wildlife spotting and for taking in the dramatic sights from up close. The Zodiac boats are perfect for cruising around in the Polar Regions, giving you the chance to see the world from a new and spellbinding point of view.

Snowshoeing / Hiking

Take in most of the unimaginable landscapes and fresh air by hiking in suitable locations! These guided hikes are perfect if you want to enjoy active sightseeing surrounded by nature; at times crossing streams, on uneven and rocky terrains and/or hilly areas.

Snowshoeing is an activity that allows you to hike across soft, powdery snow, reaching unique vantage points without the hassle of sinking into deep snow. Please note that this acti....
