Sail into the extraordinary
A once-in-a-lifetime journey – exploring pristine ice landscapes, extraordinary wildlife, and the raw beauty of Earth's last great wilderness aboard our boutique expedition ship.
Legacy of Polar Exploration
Antarctica carries the legacy of early exploration, where figures such as Sir Ernest Shackleton are part of a wider story shaped by endurance, discovery, and the unknown.
Exciting by nature
Cross the legendary Drake Passage, then head right into the Antarctic landscape by Zodiac, kayak, and on foot, with expert-led hikes and snowshoeing.
Better chance to spot wildlife
Look for penguins, seals, albatrosses and whales as you explore a world of colossal glaciers and windswept shores.
Expedition map
Day-by-Day itinerary
Every day brings something new. Explore remote shores, watch for whales, penguins and seabirds, and sail through waters framed by towering icebergs. With expert-led excursions and landings along the way, no two days in Antarctica feel quite the same.
Ushuaia
Nestled in the foothills of the snow-capped Martial Range, Ushuaia’s colourful streets and mismatched buildings cascade from the imposing mountains before coming to an abrupt halt at the shores of the Beagle Channel. As one of the world’s southernmost cities, Ushuaia carries its ‘end of the world’ reputation well. The moody weather and dramatic surroundings certainly help. Board your boutique ship before departing for your journey through one of the most captivating wilderness regions of the world
