Join an intimate evening lecture series with Seabourn's world-class Expedition Team — glaciologists, marine biologists, historians, and polar photographers — unpacking the science and soul of Antarctica.
What to expect
Held in the ship's intimate Explorer Lounge, each session opens with a glass of fine wine or whisky as a resident expert — perhaps a glaciologist fresh from a research station, or a veteran wildlife photographer with 30 Antarctic seasons behind them — speaks candidly about their life's work. Presentations are rich with original photography, field data, and personal anecdotes. The format is conversational rather than lecture-hall, and guests frequently find these evenings among the most memorable of the entire voyage. Sessions often run past midnight as the polar sun still hangs above the horizon.
Good to know
Scheduled nightly on the ship's programme; topics rotate daily to cover climate science, wildlife behaviour, exploration history, and photography. No pre-booking required — simply show up. Pair with the ship's curated bar menu of Antarctic-themed cocktails for the full experience. Ask the Expedition Director for a personal introduction to the speaker afterwards.
