Explore Antarctica
Landings
A series of snow switchbacks leads you to the ridge at Orne Harbor, where you'll admire the magnificent Antarctic landscape. On one side lies the fjord-like Errera Channel, while on the other, a natural glacier slide tempts you to feel like a kid again.
Rongé Island
Tender cruises
Jump into the tenders to explore rocky coasts and deep ice-strewn waters. Your guide might share their favourite hidden cove, or with care, draw the Zodiac near Antarctica’s apex predator dozing on an ice floe.
Lavoisier Island
Paddling
Kayaking or heading out on a SUP in the Antarctic ice is next level. While Antarctica’s silence is stunningly vast, the sibilant crackle of melting ice – ancient gases escaping into the air – creates a new kind of music. If you're lucky, penguins porpoising home after feeding at sea may pass by as you paddle.
Astrolabe Island
Polar plunge
Brave the freezing Antarctic temperatures with a quick plunge for an Antarctic rite of passage. An invigorating dip in the world’s coldest seas will leave you refreshed, grateful for your yacht’s sauna, and with a glow that feels triumphant.
King George Island
Skiing and mountaineering
Take off from the yacht, land on virgin summits and speed down untouched slopes for the most exhilarating off-piste skiing in the world. Antarctica’s black granite mountains rise straight from the sea to over 9,000ft. Many have never been climbed, meaning you and your guide could be the first.
Alexander Island
Heli-sightseeing
Soar over Deception Island, the home of an extinct caldera, or Paradise Bay, where floating icebergs are a playground for whales. From above, spot remote colonies of penguins and cruise over a frozen landscape of azure meltwater lakes, deep crevasses, and immense tabular icebergs that make everything else feel small.
Deception Island
Exploring in a submersible
Visiting the deep in a submersible is dry, comfortable, and astonishing, as it reveals the surprising colour and diversity of the virtually unknown polar undersea. Revel too in the sophisticated tech that makes undersea exploring simple and assured.
Greenwich Island
Polar diving
If you have the necessary credentials, suit up for a polar dive with the yacht’s Polar Dive Master. Discover the world beneath your yacht – and under the ice.
James Ross Island
Port Lockroy
Staffed for just four months each year, the ‘Penguin Post Office’ is both a research station and a charming stop for Antarctic sailors. Drop anchor nearby to explore the museum, browse the shop, and send a postcard with an official Antarctic postmark.
Goudier Island
Vernadsky Station
This Ukrainian scientific research station was originally owned by the Brits and is where scientists discovered the hole in the ozone layer. Research goes on here all year round, and guests on an Antarctic yacht charter can tour the station and enjoy a drink in the southern-most bar in the world.
Galindez Island 
Lemaire Channel
Nicknamed ‘Kodak Gap’, it is one of the top tourist destinations on an Antarctic yacht expedition. Steep cliffs hem in the iceberg-filled passage, which is 11km long and just 1,600m wide at its narrowest. Rich in sea life and dramatic views, it may require an icebreaker at certain times of year.
Booth Island
Whaler’s Bay
Remarkably stark and almost lunar in appearance, this landscape stands in sharp contrast to the rest of your Antarctic yacht charter. Set atop an active volcano, it invites exploration – hike up and around the caldera for a truly otherworldly experience.
Deception Island
Cuverville Island
Another must see during your luxury yacht charter in Antarctica, anchor here to see Gentoo penguins up close. You may find yourself losing track of time, simply watching their charming antics up close.
