Answer the call of the world’s last great wilderness.
Venture beyond the edge of the map and into Antarctica raw, remote, and profoundly awe-inspiring. Cross the legendary Drake Passage and arrive at the Antarctic Peninsula, a place few will ever see and none will ever forget. Here, towering glaciers rise from endless white horizons, sculpted icebergs drift in silent majesty, and the stillness is broken only by the sounds of wildlife.

Step ashore by Zodiac and enter a real-life nature documentary. In January the heart of Antarctica’s summer. Penguin colonies burst with life as fluffy chicks explore the ice, seals lounge on drifting ice floes, and whales arrive in greater numbers to feed in krill-rich waters. With long daylight hours illuminating every moment, each landing, ice cruise, and wildlife encounter feels intimate, surreal, and utterly unforgettable.

Your extraordinary expedition begins with an overnight stay in Buenos Aires, followed by a flight to Ushuaia, the southernmost city on Earth. From there, you’ll board the hybrid-powered MS Roald Amundsen, your expedition base camp at sea, and set sail on a 12-day all-inclusive Antarctic adventure guided by an expert Expedition Team.

Each day unfolds according to the rhythm of nature itself. Your Captain and Expedition Team continually adapt the route based on ice, weather, and wildlife, maximizing opportunities for exploration, discovery, and jaw-dropping moments you could never plan in advance. Between excursions, step into the ship’s state-of-the-art Science Center, the heart of the onboard experience, where Antarctica comes to life through interactive displays, expert-led talks.

Why January? This is when Antarctica truly awakens. Endless daylight dances across towering icebergs, penguin chicks take their first wobbly steps, glaciers thunder as they calve into the sea, and whales surface against an endless Antarctic sky. The energy is electric. Every moment feels cinematic, because it is.

This is not just a trip.
It’s a rare invitation to explore, learn, and stand at the edge of the world.

Miss it now… and you may never get the chance again.
