Expedition overview and highlights

  • Venture further south than most Antarctic expeditions as you cross the iconic Antarctic Circle, a true milestone for polar travellers
  • Visit historic sites including explorers' huts and working scientific stations that bring Antarctica's human story to life
  • Encounter incredible wildlife, including penguins, seals, and whales, in their natural habitat
  • Travel aboard the Greg Mortimer, a modern expedition vessel designed for comfort and adventure, with expert guides and flexible itineraries that adapt to the conditions

    Crossing the Antarctic Circle is a milestone few will ever achieve, and this extraordinary voyage invites you to venture further into the vast white wilderness than most travellers dare to go. Aboard the Greg Mortimer, purpose-built for polar exploration, you’ll journey deep into the southern reaches of the Antarctic Peninsula, where the landscapes grow wilder, the silence is deeper, and the wildlife is even more abundant. From sculpted icebergs and glittering glaciers to encounters with curious seals, penguin colonies, and majestic whales, each day brings new wonders to discover. With more time to explore and a flexible itinerary to maximise your experience, this expedition is designed for adventurous souls seeking a deep connection with the most remote corners of the planet.
