Own your status as an Antarctic explorer on this exceptional voyage aboard SH Vega. Your expedition starts by traversing the formidable Southern Ocean and the notorious Drake Passage. Arriving on the White Continent, you are greeted by impressive landscapes and extraordinary wildlife. Explore this frozen wonderland with the on board 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' - owning your place among few others.

There's nothing quite like the exhilarating effects of dipping in the icy waters of the Southern Ocean. This 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 and this is your chance to experience it first-hand.

The region south of this circle experiences' midnight sun' (periods of 24-hour daylight) and 'polar night' (where darkness lasts for over 24 hours). It's one of earth's most incredible places.
