Lo más destacado
- Revel in late-season whale activity as humpbacks and minkes feast in krill-rich waters under the near-endless light of the austral summer.
- Cross the storied 66°33'S Antarctic Circle, joining the select few who’ve voyaged into this remote realm of shifting ice, wildlife, and wonder.
- Celebrate Christmas amid iceberg vistas, Zodiac cruising, penguin rookeries, and the pristine Antarctic Peninsula in peak seasonal splendour.
Embark on Antarctic Feast: Circle in Depth, a celebratory summer voyage that carries you from Ushuaia and across the Drake Passage into the heart of the Antarctic Peninsula and beyond the legendary Antarctic Circle. This journey leads you through seas where humpbacks, minkes, and other marine giants gather to feed on abundant krill, while vast colonies of gentoo and chinstrap penguins raise their chicks along ice-fringed shores. Venturing this far south offers a rare chance to witness shifting ice realms, towering glaciers, and some of the most wildlife-rich waters anywhere on Earth.
Traveling at the height of the austral summer offers the magic of 18–24 hours of daylight, enriching every landing, Zodiac cruise, and shipboard moment with radiant clarity. Expect thrilling outings among sculpted icebergs, historical sites, and dramatic channels, as well as opportunities to hike snowy ridgelines, watch for seals hauled out on the ice, and enjoy tranquil hours in the observation lounge as glaciers crackle in the distance. Festive touches—such as a Christmas feast in view of shimmering white landscapes—make this journey unlike any other.
Crossing the Antarctic Circle remains a powerful personal milestone, celebrated on deck as you join the small community of travellers who have ventured this far into the polar world. Throughout the voyage, engaging lectures deepen your understanding of the Southern Ocean’s ecosystems, history, and ongoing conservation efforts, leaving you not just awed but empowered to become an ambassador for this fragile continent.
This itinerary is perfect for adventurous spirits, wildlife lovers, photography enthusiasts, and anyone drawn to remote places filled with grandeur. You’ll return home exhilarated, changed, and carrying the rare sati...

Snowshoeing makes walking up gentle slopes and across Antarctica’s soft, powdery snow a breeze, allowing you to explore places others struggle to reach in boots alone. Armed with your very own set of snowshoes and ski poles, you’ll be led by our expert guides, who will provide all the instruction you need. Snowshoeing is an excellent way to ascend to some of Antarctica’s best vantage points, stretch the legs and take in the most spectacular scenery on the planet. Snowshoeing is the perfect activity for everyone, with no previous experience required. Join in on the fun and discover a different slice of Antarctica!
This popular alpine activity is easy to learn – all you need is a willingness to try. All training is provided, and our team of guides will have you trained and ready to go in no more than half an hour. Participants should be confident in their footing and have an average level of fitness – outings may be up to three hours in duration. Those who enjoy hiking trails or taking long walks at home will possess enough fitness to enjoy this activity.
Our highly-qualified guides have many years of climbing, skiing and snowshoeing experience, and all hold relevant mountain instruction and safety certificates. They aim to provide a personalised and unique experience for every expeditioner whilst maintaining safety to the highest standards. We have one snowshoeing guide for every 10 guests.
While we aim to get out as often as possible, the number of outings will be dependent on the weather and our itinerary’s landing points. The average number of outings is usually six or more per voyage, lasting up to three hours per outing.
One of the most exhilarating ways to experience Antarctica, the Arctic and beyond. Sea kayaking holidays in the humbling wilderness of Antarctica, the Arctic, and some of the world’s most biodiverse regions, are guaranteed to stir your soul. Paddle around brash ice and near icebergs of all shapes and sizes, absorbing the majestic scenery as it unfolds before you.
This Kayaking Program was created by kayakers for kayakers! Our program style offers the chance to develop and enhance your skills and to connect with our expert guides and your fellow Expeditioners. Participating with the small group through your voyage will minimise wasted time with briefings and equipment tryouts and maximise time on the water.
All of our Expert Guides are professional kayak guides, who have led trips around the world, specialise in the Polar Regions and have been chosen for their passion for the sport. Kayaking is one of the best ways to access and intimately explore the beautiful coastlines we visit and make the most of your time in the wild and remote destinations we visit. You have the option to discuss with the guides what you want out of your trip and they will help with recommendations on when to paddle, when to go ashore and when it’s possible to do both in one outing.
What’s Included
‘Getting out amongst it’ is our philosophy, and that is exactly what we do. Weather permitting, the sea kayaking activity is normally available anytime the other expeditioners go out.
We paddle between 5 to 15 kilometres (2 to 4 hours) per outing, often offering a combination of both kayaking and onshore landings so you won’t miss out. Each small group of kayakers (up to 10 per guide) will have their own intimate exploration of the small hidden bays and coasts that are inaccessible to Zodiacs. Of course, we also make time for your own shore excursions and wildlife encounters. The elements play an important role in our sea kayaking program. It is important that you have an adventurous attitude and understand that the weather can impact our kayaking time.
Dive beneath the surface on Aurora Expeditions’ snorkelling adventures, where vibrant coral reefs, icy underwater worlds, and fascinating marine life await.
NEW for Antarctica 2027/28 Season – Paddling Sessions
We are always looking for new ways to enhance the experience of the destinations we visit. To make our activities more accessible to more expeditioners, we’re introducing one-off paddling sessions for our 2027/28 Antarctica season.
Whether you join a Paddling Session or the full Paddling Program, you’ll enjoy the bonus of regular landings with other expeditioners, plus the unforgettable opportunity to explore from the water.
Both options offer a fun, gentle and memorable way to connect with your surroundings. The activity is suitable for beginners, and we only operate in calm conditions to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Bring along your adventurous spirit and a positive attitude — you’re sure to create lasting memories on the water.
