The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Glide by Zodiac through the 'Iceberg Alley' tabular bergs calved from the Weddell Sea ice shelves. Small groups, expert naturalist narration, ice-level perspective.
Walk among one of the largest Adelie penguin colonies in the region, set beneath a dramatic 745m volcanic bluff. A true bucket-list wildlife encounter on actual continental Antarctica.
Paddle a two-person kayak at water level among sculpted icebergs and possible whale blows, a far more intimate scale than any Zodiac tour.
Mark the precise 66°33' S latitude crossing with a traditional glass of champagne on deck, an old polar tradition few travelers ever get to do.
Land where survivors of Nordenskjold's 1903 Swedish Antarctic Expedition overwintered in a stone hut, still visible amid a colony of 100,000+ penguins.
Take the traditional icy dip directly into Antarctic Sound's sub-zero water, tethered and towel-ready, for the ultimate bragging-rights bucket-list moment.
You know what to do on the day. Here is the trip it belongs to — each one opens as a whole plan, not a list: where to fly in, every port, what it runs.
