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).
