Cruise Port Guide
The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Glide silently through Antarctica's ice-choked waters in an inflatable Zodiac, drifting within metres of leopard seals, humpback whales, and emperor penguins on sculpted icebergs. This intimate, small-group safari is the defining Antarctic encounter.
Leap into the Southern Ocean from the ship's gangway — water temperature hovering near 0°C — to earn your place in the most exclusive swim club on the planet. Brief, electrifying, and utterly unforgettable.
Spend a night bivouacked on the Antarctic ice sheet under the midnight sun — or the aurora australis — cocooned in a polar-grade sleeping bag. Fewer than a few hundred people per year experience this; it is as remote as the Earth gets.
Paddle a double sea kayak through the Lemaire Channel — the most breathtaking passage in Antarctica — at water level, surrounded by 800-metre cliffs of glacial ice and silence broken only by your blade and calving seracs.
Hike a snowy ridge above Orne Harbour to reach one of Antarctica's most accessible chinstrap penguin rookeries — thousands of birds nesting on volcanic rock, utterly indifferent to your awe-struck presence.
Descend beneath Antarctica's frozen surface into an alien underworld of translucent ice shelves, vivid orange sea stars, Weddell seals, and krill clouds — one of the rarest dive experiences on Earth.
