What to do in Antarctica?
Choose between programs of six days and five nights, eight days and seven nights, ten days and nine nights, or 17 days and 16 nights.
Sail through incredible frozen seascapes and spot diverse wildlife. Pass through Chile’s Frei Station and Russia’s Bellingshausen Station finding out about life on these barely inhabited islands.
Discover the stunning landscapes of the South Shetland Islands on the western coast of the Antarctic. Pass majestic icebergs, ice-filled fjords while spotting seabirds, penguins, seals and whales along the way.
Admire the glaciated mountains and ice cliffs of Paradise Harbour. Look on as groups of icebergs calve off the mainland.
Schedules and itineraries remain flexible depending on weather conditions, but there are possibilities to visit the volcanic and geothermally heated Paulet Island and discover Adélie penguin colonies.
Map & location
Avoiding sailing the turbulent Drake Passage, the austral adventure begins in the Southern Chilean port city Punta Arenas. Fly on ‘Bigfoot’, a specially designed carrier for changeable Antarctic conditions. Arrive within two hours and embark the Magellan Explorer by zodiac.
When to Travel
The extreme Antarctic weather means that the season is short – from November to March. For those looking to travel in 2021, there is availability from December through to February.
